This is oddly specific...

[lala630312]

This is ridiculous.The new scoring system support the mediocraty . Anonymous judges can do anything. i want to change it!

[saattchi]

you should make this for gymnastics scoring too because alot of people find it very confusing and different from the 'perfect ten'

How To Wash Your Hands. You will need: Your hands A bathroom. A sink. A soap. And napkins. Step 1)Turn on the water. Step 2)Wet Your Hands. Step 3)Put some soap on your hands. Step 4)Rinse your hands. Step 5)Grab some napkins. Step 6)Dry your hands with your napkin. Step 7)Turn off the water. Lol. Howto, seriously don't make simple Howto videos. They end up less rated.

This does not take away subjectivity or unfairness out of the judging however.

I don't agree with anonymous random judging. The judges have to be held accountable to their judging.

im watchin d winter olympics at d mo and figure skatin is showing so cool

[ArmadylGodSwordsmen]

I like to call it fuckin' around on ice.

[TheBlueOracle]

Okay, that explains a lot. We were wondering about that!

[joyariffic]

so since there is no perfect score, a single judge can give like 400 points to a skater

[Rhodebunny]

not exactly. remember that only an increment of 3 can be added or deducted from all moves and falls automatically lose one at most.

[joyariffic]

thats right, thanks

[cocoacreek]

not only that, but of the random judges picked by the computer, the highest and lowest scores are dropped.

how to pet your dog

[elleroxsox]

so.....how can there NOT be a perfect score? i don't get it.....

[squidb8]

@PeaceBear0: Yeah good luck with fitting it all into a routine of a short duration, and try not fall on your arse cause that'll cost ya.

[Rhodebunny]

because it depends on the amount of moves, difficulty of them, and how well they preform. Aside from that they still have timing.

[ILoveFigures]

@elleroxsox Mostly because there is no such thing as a perfect skate. :) You can always do it better.. Just like marathon or downhill skiing, etc, you can always do it faster.
