At Europeans, Papadakis and Cizeron had three elements with +3.30 GOEs. Judges cannot give higher than 3.0 in GOE. Can anyone help me understand how they were given GOEs higher than 3.0.

There are several very knowledgeable people here who really know their dance stuff. I always learn a lot from Mrs. P and Anyasnake to name a couple. GKelly's link is very helpful if you enjoy charts. :thumbsup:
I too am confused when the GOE is over 3. I wonder when it goes to 5 if it will then be more than 5.

I'm very grateful for those people. I think one of the reasons I've become such a fan of ice dance is that I can get lost in the performances more. I'm not focusing on the technical so much.
Barring some sort of obvious mishap, I can't tell the difference between a L4 step sequence and a L3, especially when viewing live.
It's relatively easy in the other disciplines to identify what type of jump, number of rotations, spot underrotations and poor edge takeoffs - and I'm always checking a mental checklist throughout the program. I'm a little worse looking at spin levels, and next to useless on step sequences.
With dance, I just sit back, enjoy, and throw out uninformed opinions. It's great!
It's so helpful. I really think casual viewers of dance could real benefit from having someone with knowledge to ask questions.
I can't tell the difference to be honest. I assume the judges are correct when they call it a level 3 or 4. I almost never say anything about levels. I just state if I enjoyed it or not. And I complain about music and costumes because, hey, any shmo can have an opinion about those.
Ditto. I can see speed and projection and confidence and connection/chemistry between the dancers... and I have a lot to say about that. But - "That circular step sequence was clearly a L3" - no, you won't hear that from me.
At least I'm savvy enough to know that "Hey, I liked that a lot!" does not mean the element is a Level 4. I think that makes me smarter than the average ice dance viewer.
And I complain about music and costumes because, hey, any shmo can have an opinion about those.
Remember the butt ruffles? Universally panned before they even started the program!
I kind of liked that purple leg fringe Nikitina had for the SD...
