Was there a point where you could get them at junior competitions and then it changed? For some reason I thought I remembered junior competitions counting for a while.
They could do a calibration/set the RD minimum differently for juniors, or they could do a video review of the team doing the senior RD for any junior team who is assigned to the World team provisionally, which would be a limited number of teams internationally.The only argument I could see is for the RD, since the patterns are different and the junior pattern would often be considered easier. But I agree.

Functionally I think junior dance is the discipline you’d least have to worry about, since the differing RD requirements mean that almost nobody does a split season anyway.They could do a calibration/set the RD minimum differently for juniors, or they could do a video review of the team doing the senior RD for any junior team who is assigned to the World team provisionally, which would be a limited number of teams internationally.
What I suggested would be an exception with a separate process. Some junior teams can decide to compete senior at Nationals, prepping for them after the JGP season ends in early Fall.Functionally I think junior dance is the discipline you’d least have to worry about, since the differing RD requirements mean that almost nobody does a split season anyway.

I agree Australia should be commended for getting tough straight away and not shamed by those of you from countries who didn’t and now are paying the price (including my country). Now many of us are in lockdown but if we had acted earlier and not sent the kids back to school we would have avoided it.I think our Australian friends just see how they were able to get control of things early and stay on top of it and wish it could have been the same for the rest of us in the world. I can see how mind boggling it is to them to see other countries struggling.
So the politicians in Canada think the people that should pay for this are the young people who are supposed to go to the Olympics. Canada seems to be copying the United States and USSR but I’m not sure they’re copying the right things.
The reason it got changed was to close the loophole whereby a junior skater could do a double as their solo jump and a double-double as their combination in a junior competition SP to get the TES for say Euros (yes, it was possible).Was there a point where you could get them at junior competitions and then it changed?

But they could have recalculated "qualifying basis" by senior rules or simply counted only those where the elements qualified. For the latter, that would be harsher than for seniors, who could earn them with a solo double jump or a 2/2 combo, but probably not both, at least for the Worlds minimums, but that would be the trade-off. They have the protocols, to which they could apply algorithms programatically, even readjusting TES to the maximum that a double solo and/or 2/2 combo could earn in seniors.The reason it got changed was to close the loophole whereby a junior skater could do a double as their solo jump and a double-double as their combination in a junior competition SP to get the TES for say Euros (yes, it was possible).

Not sure what you mean. The only double jumps that count for anything in a senior short program now are ONE of the jumps in the combination, and the axel.harsher than for seniors, who could earn them with a solo double jump or a 2/2 combo, but probably not both,
Thank you for the correction: I though they changed this to giving -5 GOE credit to the much smaller base value of the double or single jump for the solo jump.A double solo jump in a senior SP gets 0 points, regardless of how well performed or what the skater did in the combination.

I thought they changed it back, under the theory that everyone should get some credit for what they attempt, even if they don't get called for the required number of rotations, separate from quality and mandatory deductions that are different for the SP.That was originally the case (early in the +3/-3 days), but they changed it several years ago from that to no points at all.
You may be thinking about the Yuna rule about doubles, where a 3rd repeated double jump invalidated an entire combination. Now, just the 3rd double is invalidated, but the other jump(s) in combination still get credit.I thought they changed it back, under the theory that everyone should get some credit for what they attempt, even if they don't get called for the required number of rotations, separate from quality and mandatory deductions that are different for the SP.
But, clearly not.
