Protocols are up

Everyone's feeling that the tech committee here for dance was rather easy on people looks like it was correct.

Up till this point, no team on the GP has gotten level 4 for both Golden Waltz segments.

Here, the following teams scored Level 4 in both segments:

Pechalat and Bourzat
Chock and Zuerlein
Cannuscio and Lorello

Ralph and Hill got level 4/Level 3
Carron and Jones got Level 4/Level 3
Riazanova/Tkachenko got Level 3/Level3
Turoczi/Major got Level 3/Level2
Huang/Zheng got Level 2/Level3

Needless to say, this is not the way it went on previous GP events. T&M for example got level 1 on both segments at NHK. C&L got both level 1's at CoC.
Pechalat / Bourzat got Level 4/ Level2 there.

Granted skaters improve, but that seems like a significant difference between panels.

I did see that when looked at the protocol, it's a god given.

The real sticking place for me, I think, was Turoczi & Major going from Level 1/Level 1 to Level 3/Level 2 when the two dances (NHK and TEB) didn't look that much different for the Golden segments.

What the hell...how did Kevin Reynolds get credited with a 4T< in the SP??? It wasn't even a 4T<<!!! It was a 3T and should have been called as an invalid element (since he already did a 3T as part of his combination and it can't be repeated).

A lame attempt to pull the guy to the final. It failed anyway. Good.
