yeah i don't know about all this...some of this is getting way too nitpicky.
i don't agree with giving a GOE deduction for jumps that are further around than the quarter mark but less than fully backward. that is SUPER nitpicky imo, and will be very hard in a lot of cases to determine...i mean, theres already so much controversy on when jumps should be given carrots. they just made it even harder.
if they're going to add in rules and language about "prerotation" and "full blade takeoff" they need to be MUCH more specific. what does "excessive rotation" mean? at what degree does a skater's blade have to be? when they say "full blade", does that mean if a skater just puts their entire blade on the ice without any contact between the ice or toe pick, or does it mean if a skater plants their toe and then rocks back to "full blade"? palmf:...thats all i have to say about this rule)
i don't understand having the same BV for 4 loop, flip and lutz...they had different BVs before for a reason.
I understood the q rule differently. That it’s not about jumps that are further around than 1/4, but those which are exactly on 1/4. I thought it means that the implementation of the previous rule, when jumps have >= 1/4 of underrotation are punished, was problematic, since judges would let go borderline cases. Hence, they made an intermediary category, that is if the jump is =1/4 under rotated, it gets a minus GOE.
