New tasks for the cameramen, guess the kiss cam was just a test drive in Milan.

Apparently by how involved the crowd and the judges are, engaged, the applause etc. I .... see so many problems here.

 

The biggest issue is this:

Quote

Prior to inputting the Component Marks, judges will evaluate the Free Dance as YES/PARTLY/NO for a bonus/no action/deduction with respect to the specific focus announced in an ISU Communication for each season.

 

so there are deductions too which is so, so messy. Talk about a mess waiting to happen. Get a few of those, and watch the pairs stop skating.

Wow I can see some dedicate fans bring speakers (with recorded applause, crying, screaming)  into the arena

I'm just over here thinking "that's one way to stop supportive audiences cheering on all skaters equally or to support them through a tough skate" like we've seen in Milan

Truth 

 

Also all the arguments for this is a sport so should be in the Olympics. So how do you get points? Um, well, see, they got the most cheers! 

[robin]

ok but did they consider smaller comps with like 10 people sitting in the audience LOL

That would be very easy to accomplish, they just need to splat few times and the audience will be cheering for them  (we did that a lot today with the men)

 

Joking aside, doesn't that give huge advantage to the top teams and home skaters?

For sure. There's no way the last group won't get the bonus no matter what they do; it's simply how skating functions.

They did ask for input by coaches there and later on, by contacting them so it may not turn out this way in the end but at the moment, so many potential problems.

If they're doing themes per season, who's to say that at some point it won't be say love and then it'll be uh oh as most will read that as romance anyway. Brother sister pairs would have a ball.

I mean there's always Game of Thrones but somehow I am not sure how that'd work out.

If they applied this in the singles, Yuzu would win even if he just sat on the ice for 4 minutes 

[Hanmgse]

it's like the ISU is telling me to not get more invested on ice dancing

He’d win the record for longest standing ovation

If this gets through, I'm investing in USB type of speakers, and figuring how to sneak them through to competitions. 

Now, to be totally fair, I will blast pre-recorded applause, cheering and more, for every single team. Hope the judges aren't confused. 

*wait, I need a bigger team for this, maybe I should bring extra copies and just rope people into joining me in creating utter engagement chaos
