Isn't it always the last 3 jumps that get the backloading bonus? In which case you can't put solo jumps after, or you won't get the bonus.
Under the new system, GOE is way more important than the backloading bonus. By my calculations, Alina's Olys score actually goes up despite the new backloading bonus rules due to the new GOE system.
Also, amusingly, in the competitions I looked at, the person who would have gotten screwed most by the new backloading bonus rule is Wakaba Higuchi. She loses 0.53 points off her SP and 0.49 points off her FS, enough to put her behind Carolina Kostner (who gets boosted due to her high GOEs) in 2018 Worlds. Apparently the Japanese fed didn't think about that when they proposed the new backloading rule?
