For the past number of years it has become evident that PCS scoring has veered away from its original intent and now seems to be more a way to slot skaters in a specific position. It is quite rare to see a variance in the PCS marks for each skater, when in reality, there "should" be a good variance for many skaters depending on their strengths and weaknesses... It seems now that a "5.8" is now how many judges are scoring skaters with one mark for all of the PCS.....
I'm wondering... Do you think we might see an improvement if each component was judged separately by one or two judges? (So instead of having all judges judge all components, we would switch to a system where two judges only look at skating skills... another two would just mark transitions and so on... ?)
I'm thinking that it might actually see more accurate marking with this method??
