Well plenty of skaters do that for Worlds for example. You don't see everyone in the FS.
Then let's do it. Let's get a petition started to expand the Grand Prix spots. It should be a no-brainer.

Ksyusha did it!

In a way Trusova (and Anya) started this revolution, and yet, I wonder if either of them will reap the rewards.

If they would actually do fair scoring and not consistency and high TES = high pcs but also look at it individually as well as look at the pcs categories individually(some people might be verd musical but don't have a lot of transitions, so scores shouldn't be almost the same) and they should get rid of that later group pcs bonus, and all of that would make it more exciting in general.Honestly, I don't mind that it's 6 skaters because it makes it more interesting and exciting. Perhaps the bigger problem is unjustly scoring, aka reputation inflation and newcomers-super-TES PCS inflation.

I would rather have a fair scoring system than my fav just benefitting from a shitty, biased systemTrue about the scoring. But some of our favorites have been accused of benefiting from such scoring over the years.

Yes of couse.I'm aware of that. But wouldn't it be better if everything was fair and square?

How do we get there?

Not have national based judging.Completely abandon the assessment of the PCS, as it is now.

And whether you want it or not, TES will affect PCS, because technical deficiencies do detract from performance and the impression it makes on the judges. But technical superiority on contrast, makes a great impression. It's easy to say "those should be separate", but when you're watching it live and someone lands magnificent jumps, it does matter and changes on our own outlook on performances. And having two panels would've never solved that issue too imo.
Moreover, it seems like there's no way to satisfy people: when PCS win against TES like in Lysacek/Plushenko case people will be upset.

As for the issue of all program components turning out the same, I think it would help to replace the five categories with just two: Technical Aspects of the Program as a Whole (basically the current SS and TR) and Performance Aspects of the Program as a whole (comprising the current Performance, Composition, and Interpretation.) Keep the Element Scores as they are, so many points for a triple Lutz, etc.
