There’s been a lot of speculation on how competition results might change with the flurry of rule changes that were passed at the recent ISU congress, as well as the update scale of values that’s supposed to go into effect next season. In order to arrive at a more grounded idea of what might happen, I decided to rescore some old competitions according to the new rules. This chiefly affects the men’s competition, but I figured some of you might be interested in ladies as well, so I also did a little rescoring for ladies (I found it mostly fairly boring, the scores didn’t really change very much, though placements sometimes did).
Here are some of the more interesting results:
2018 Worlds
1. Nathan Chen 321.4 (old score) -> 306.84 (new score)
2. Mikhail Kolyada 272.32 -> 264.9 (moves from 3rd to 2nd)
3. Shoma Uno 273.77 -> 263.89 (moves from 2nd to 3rd)
2018 Olys
1. Yuzuru Hanyu 317.85 -> 314.06
2. Javier Fernandez 305.24 -> 301.15 (moves from 3rd to 2nd)
3. Shoma Uno 306.9 -> 296.04 (moves from 2nd to 3rd)
2017 Worlds
1. Yuzuru Hanyu 321.59 -> 317.47
2. Shoma Uno 319.31 -> 312.18
3. Javier Fernandez 301.19 -> 298.51 (moves from 4th to 3rd)
4. Boyang Jin 303.58 -> 296.04 (moves from 3rd to 4th)
2017 4 Continents
1. Yuzuru Hanyu 303.71 -> 299.39 (moves from 2nd to 1st)
2. Nathan Chen 307.46 -> 295.59 (moves from 1st to 2nd)
Notable for being the one case in mens I checked where the total score actually rose instead of dropping (I doubt there are other cases):
2015 GPF
1. Yuzuru Hanyu 330.43 -> 331.29
(Yes, somehow despite the removal of a triple jump AND the quad BV nerf, GPF2015 Yuzuru Hanyu manages to have a higher score under the new system than the old one. Go figure.)
Ladies:
2018 Worlds
1. Kaetlyn Osmond 223.23 -> 224.75
2. Carolina Kostner 208.88 -> 211.51 (moves from 4th to 2nd)
3. Wakaba Higuchi 210.9 -> 211.17 (moves from 2nd to 3rd)
4. Satoko Miyahara 210.08 -> 209.77 (moves from 3rd to 4th)
There are no changes to Olympics 2018 rankings for the top 6, though the margin of Alina’s victory does narrow to a few tenths of a point.
