Did they just meet up and go "Oh, let's change some BVs today!" Was there ever anyone who even raised an objection to the BVs for UR jumps, ever? Did anyone care at all? It's like some poorly written fantasy show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they usually make these changes mid-quad? I thought they usually only change things at the beginning of each quad for fairness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too. well if they're putting in overtime out of dedication to the sport, I am so glad they're focusing on the truly important things that needed to be addressed! The sport is saved now, rejoice, ye who follow it! Rejoice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't edge calls introduced mid quad in 07-08? 5 minutes ago, SparkleSalad said: Because someone from a certain country turned senior fairly recently. Lol. I guess this is their solution to standardizing UR calls. Call them wrongly, make sure BV drop is lower. Sad that they didn't correct 4As and +Loop combos, because this is just so silly to do. Simply a way to say "Oh, we sure do care!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 So now you can underrotate and get +5GOE. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neenah Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Lol... So the ISU looked at the scores from last season and Missed the terrible result of making the GOE value 50% of the element BV (especially for quads) Missed the terrible injustice of the points rewarded for difficult combos and sequences Missed all the many mistakes by the judges and the TPs Missed the low BV and GOE for StSq and spins (to be fair they have been missing this for a while) But totally noticed that URs when called correctly can destroy a skater's score so they addressed this issue... How very nice of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm frankly fine with them getting upto +2. There's a lot to be changed, and idk if it will be, and I doubt I'll have the energy to say any thing more on this. Sigh.
