I haven't looked at the results closely but it's very likely team strategy would have changed if the scoring were different.I think Tony Wheeler did an exercise a couple years ago as to whether the Team Event final standings would change using either
- 10-8-6-4-2 point allocation in the long program
- using pure raw scores from both segments and summing them all together.
The order of finish for the medalists didn't change for 2018 using either alternative scenario (although OAR would have been ahead of Canada after the short program segment summing segment scores)
