ISU World Standings Have Been Updated

[Brenda_Bottems]

Papadakis and Cizeron as the 12th ranked ice dance team.

Incidentally,that French couple is also ranked #12 in the current BBED (Brenda Bottems' Echelon of Dance).

-BB

 

[antmanb]

One would expect the skater who hasn't lost since 2018 to be first, but then the ISU's logic is not always logical.

I imagine crazed Fanyus putting away their pitch forks and deleting the online petition to the ISU about the unfairness of their golden pooh-dol not being number 1 on every list just because.

[allezfred]

You can but it's been so long since we've seen them compete that I wouldn't assume that they are the same team that dominated ice dancing for years. We just don't know.

If they are upright and living they should be.

[Andrea82]

After Lombardia (pairs has not and seemingly will not been updated, since for some reason it wasn't a challenge series event for them)

Pairs will have to updated too as both Lombardia and John Nicks New York event met the requirements in terms of number of entries and technical panel/judges to be included in the third column (Int. Competition). They will give less points (from 250 to winner to 164 to the 5th)

 

[Karen-W]

After Lombardia (pairs has not and seemingly will not been updated, since for some reason it wasn't a challenge series event for them)

Only half of the Challenger Series' have Pairs as an official part of the competition. This was because, for a couple of seasons, there was difficulty getting enough entries across all of the Challenger pairs comps to count as an official international competition. I like that we're seeing some decent sized pairs fields this year, even at non-Challenger events but the same thing happened in 2017-18 and then the field sizes dropped again after the chance at the Olympics passed. We'll see if that happens again next season or if the ISU should consider adding pairs to more of the Challengers again. Same reasoning applies to the JGP limiting pairs to just 4 of the 7 events.

WOMEN

Amber?

 

[haribobo]

Only top 8 get points so Amber finishing 10th didnt help her unfortunately...

 

[Sylvia]

As I noted in the Pairs Discussion thread over the weekend, it took several weeks but the ISU WS points for the top 5 pairs finishers at the John Nicks International (Senior B) in mid-September only got added recently.

 

[barbk]

I love Jason Brown's skating, but only in the crazy world of ISU World Standings would he be ranked second in the world and above Nathan Chen.

 

[Tavi]

I love Jason Brown's skating, but only in the crazy world of ISU World Standings would he be ranked second in the world and above Nathan Chen.

It will change soon enough! Seriously, though, it makes sense if you realize that world standing factors which competitions / how many you’ve done as well as where you placed.

Basically, Nathan wasn’t able to earn the big points he usually does because Worlds /GPF 2020 were canceled and there wasn’t really a GP season. Jason earned points by medaling at a couple of challengers and at 4CCs 2020 (Nathan didn’t do any of these comps).

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I love Jason Brown's skating, but only in the crazy world of ISU World Standings would he be ranked second in the world and above Nathan Chen.

So both Nathan and Bradie will make their debuts at skate America?

 

[Vagabond]

It will change soon enough! Seriously, though, it makes sense if you realize that world standing factors which competitions / how many you’ve done as well as where you placed.

But is this any reason to give one skater preference over another when it comes to Grand Prix invitations or the starting order for a Short Program?

 

[Tavi]

But is this any reason to give one skater preference over another when it comes to Grand Prix invitations or the starting order for a Short Program?

Well, it’s only one of several ways you can qualify for GPs, and it’s arguably less important than placement of Worlds.

As far as using it to determine start order for SPs, not sure if it’s the power of television networks or something else, but if you’re going to go with something other than a random draw, I do think it’s relatively fair, because it changes over time - even during the season - and is theoretically fair to a fairly broad range of skaters as long as they perform well enough.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

But is this any reason to give one skater preference over another when it comes to Grand Prix invitations or the starting order for a Short Program?

This system is designed to reward people who place well at competitions. In order to place well at competitions, you have to attend them.

I think it’s far from a perfect system, but I don’t think it’s a particular flaw that someone who competes infrequently is not ranked as highly as you expect.

 

[Vagabond]

I think it’s far from a perfect system, but I don’t think it’s a particular flaw that someone who competes infrequently is not ranked as highly as you expect.

If it leads to better performances being undermarked because lower-ranked skaters start earlier in the Short Program, then it's a flaw. COP was meant to prevent this from happening, but it happens all the same.

 

[Tavi]

If it leads to better performances being undermarked because lower-ranked skaters start earlier in the Short Program, then it's a flaw. COP was meant to prevent this from happening, but it happens all the same.

But that’s a problem with the judging, no? Judges who overlook flaws in and/or award higher GOE/PCS to skaters based on their start order, reputation (or lack thereof), and jump content aren’t following the stated guidelines. The ISU seems to accept it as perfectly fine because they’re not getting disciplined for it.

That's not a flaw in the world rankings? That's a flaw in the judging.

 

[toddlj]

Perhaps there is a formula that would include seasons best score AND event placements that might give us something closer to reality in terms of the rankings. Seasons best could perhaps be weighted by how recent it was? Still would be very flawed but might be better than what we have.

Reminds me of the old 6.0 system during which the judges were "leaving room".
