Russia appealed to ISU with the question of inconsistency of refereeing at the stages of the Grand Prix
A new grading system for an element with a graduation from minus five points to plus five was introduced in the current Olympic cycle
MOSCOW, November 12. / TASS /. The Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) appealed to the International Skating Union (ISU) with the question of inconsistent decisions of some judges during the stages of the Grand Prix series. This was announced at a press conference in TASS on Tuesday by the General Director of the FFKKR Aleksander Kogan.
“Our federation turned to the ISU tech committee with a question about the inconsistency of decisions - they find an edge in some, not in others. Some other errors. The new system of plus five - minus five allows more use of opportunities from judges, so judging has become more subjective, " said Kogan.
“At the same Tuktamysheva's grades for an element ranged from plus three to minus one. There is no single approach to assessing the quality of an element, and this is one of the biggest problems,” Kogan emphasized.
A new grading system for an element with a gradation from minus five points to plus five was introduced in the current Olympic cycle, earlier ratings ranged from minus three to plus three.

Another quote from Kogan:
"I really hope that refereeing at our stage will be more objective than at some other stages. I hope that we will see not only excellent skating, but also objective refereeing," Kogan said at a press conference.
