Anyway if you sign up to play a game where every score is essentially a subjective opinion, don't be surprised when you disagree with the results sometimes. Does it suck? Yes. But it's the nature of the game. So deal with it. And next time try to leave a lot less doubt in the mind of the judges. 2 figure skaters. 1 falls on a triple axle and recovers perfectly and the other makes no mistakes, who wins? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skater that didn't fall, were they doing basic figure 8s??...........Because if so, the skater who fell on the triple axle wins for me, especially if they had a near flawless recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By definition it was not a perfect performance. Because the highest score doesn't mean perfect, never did, it's just who was the best. When you get toward the top, numbers are scarce and a perfect score as I said NEVER meant perfect, although those who have got them love to say" Perfect"..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's compare it to Pulse and RCC. The skater that fell had a top tier artistic program and the skater that didn't fall had a top tier technical program but both were about equal in caliber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen this many times in the past depending on the corps. DCP likes you, Perfect score. DCP doesn't like you, Maximum score. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. Just to add to another miscomprehension: the other skater wasn't "perfect" . No performance (musical or otherwise) is "perfect". Human performance is dynamic, adaptive and expressive which by their very nature are contrary to "perfection". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
