I was wondering how judges manage to keep track of both skaters when judging pairs. For example, in SBS jumps, how can they keep track of whether one did a double instead of a triple or one had a wrong takeoff edge and the other didn't? Or one had very poor GOE and the other was good. Are there two judges to keep track of each skater's jumps? It just strikes me as really hard to pay attention to all of the important details when you have to keep track of two skaters jumping.
The problem is amplified for Synchro - I realize that part of the idea is how "synchronized" the team is, but can one judge really see if one of the skaters flubs something a little bit?
