Now everything scored by what you earn for your grade of execution on any particular move. You can add up the point totals for yourself based on how well you perform something and the degree of difficulty that has been applied to that element beforehand. It's all about adding up as many points as possible and putting them into your basket.

You used to see 2 skaters get both get 5.8s and 5.9s for a program and then a subjective ordinal placement showing where a judge thought you placed in comparison to the rest of the field. They don't do that anymore.

The notion of a "world record in figure skating" will never stop sounding odd to me. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 10:09 1
- agreeance - it doesn't jibe at all. Case in point - the way Patrick Chan was scored at the last Canadian Nationals. Even the Canadian commentators - Diva Mar 14, 10:12
