You can not compare with scores for nationals (they are always high) and BAV. Open are overscored as well, because Germans need high scores to make it in the National Team and at that competition they sort of take care that those who have not gotten the scores yet will get them. So of course everyone else gets high scores as well. Just compare with SP scores at YOG Games (Shiraiwa clean SP 60pt.)
I never heard about the Germans offering high scores in their opens. Nebelhorn, I think, is quite conservative in scoring. But anyway, I watched the SP video and looked at the protocols. Alisa received -3 GOE for her 3Lo-3Lo which is fair. Hence, the only point to discuss is whether it was UR or not. The rest of the program was marvelous and her GOE is well deserved. Sorry, I cannot compare Lozko with Yuna S. because I just find Yuna a "good average skater" with non-inspiring programs while Lozko so far is superb. And her getting 120 in FS with 181 combined shows that next year she will be the one to watch. Her main task is to stay injury-free. The other one is to strengthen up her jump content. Then she can be competitive with Polina Tsurskaya aiming at the very top.
