I want to see the PCS numbers changed though, for 1 serious error (fall or invalid element) i think the max PCS eligible should be a 9, 2 serious serious errors 8.5 or 8 and so on, to me 9-10 PCS marks should be reserved for clean skates or skates where the most serious errors are under-rotations or edge calls
But isn't this to some extent also happening right now? When e.g. fans complain about low PCS for skaters with certain mistakes (or just because they skate early, which is something I would like to see forbidden by the rules...)?
When some details don't work out, but the elite skater does not skate less elite in terms of Skating Skills beacuse of that but gets less points? Ofc PCS should not be used to set skater X to position Y artificially.
But I doubt that mandatory deductions would increase the level of overall skating or help presentation or whatever. It would just make skaters even more nervous about making mistakes -> more mistakes will happen.
