I would like to propose a different skating order to prevent PCS inflation in the last group (no matter whether it's mens, ladies, dance or pairs).
How about the first placed skater after the SP skated first in the LP and all the other skaters just draw lots and randomly skate in no particular order.
The idea came because there were a couple of good skaters even in the earlier groups today - 1. group: Kozuka, Mura and viewers darling MCM, 2. group: Farris, Kovtun, 3. group: Nyguen, Misha, Rippon, 4. group: ten, hanyu, fernandez.
Usually I just skip the first 3 groups or do laundry while listening half-hearted, but now I noticed how more exciting the competition went if there're top guns in each group. Also, the question of other skaters beating the first placed in the SP would just add to the excitement level. This way I assume there'd be less PCS inflation for the last group and PCS would be given out (or so I hope) for actual skating and not skating order. There'd still be reputation judging, but that's another issue I'm not addressing here.
Considering this is the first time I started a thread, please be kind to me^^ If you think this idea is stupid, I'd be interested to read why.
