[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not an expert on the scoring system, so I'm wondering of you can help me. Is the additional value given for grade of execution related to the base value of each skill? Why can't lower base value skills be given higher GOE scores? It seems like they get 1-2 max.[/quote]
There are two portions of the score. The technical score has no cap, while the performance (or component score) is capped. Each technical component receives a base point value and then that base point value is adjusted by a GOE which is scaled to be within a range of +/- 5 points. So a less complicated jump, which has a base score of 4.5 points, will receive a smaller GOE scale than a big jump worth 9 points. But your technical score can exceed 50 points in the short and 100 points in the long based on what your technical content is.

The component scores on the other hand are 10 points max for each of the 5 components, so you're scaled at or below that score, and can max out at 50 points in the SP and 100 points in the FS. Theoretically, you can maximize your component score through GOE, because you do your elements well, but since GOE is scaled based on the technical point value, you get MORE points by performing the hardest elements (quads) so there's a huge point deficit to catch up on.

Thank you! I wasn't sure about the GOE being scaled, but that makes sense.  I suppose that hypothetically, certain non-jump elements could be given higher base values, like the step sequence, if the system wanted to award excellence in other areas, right?  The skaters with amazing footwork sequences don't seem to be rewarded enough.

Also, I've noticed that a number of spins are designated for review. Are these flagged for the position of the body or some other flaw?[/quote]
