I agree that the judges shouldn't be allowed in during practice sessions. I mean, you get a great skater who's tempermental and throws a fit during practice, should that have any bearing on their scores when they skate next? Or if they consistently miss a jump during practice but happen to land it during competition should that get weighed in? I think it should be more like other sports... what you do in practice is just that, practice, and not part of the rating. Then what you do under pressure and in front of the judges is all that weighs on your score. High jumpers may be able to hit a specific height when practicing and miss it during competition, should we give them partial credit because they can do it but didn't?
As for the scoring... I always thought they scored them 1st, 2nd, etc based on who has the highest scores, so that the first skater only has to beat a 0 score in order to be in first place, bu the next skater has to score higher than the first in order to be placed in first place. So of course, the rankings they put under the scores would just show how they fall at any one time and not the finale. And when you're adding in multiple scores, the one who gets 2 scores first would take 1st place again until more folks get those extra scores figured in and start dropping them back in the queue. Is this not how that is done?
