Yeah, because what are the odds that a skater lands EXACTLY at 90 degrees short? Exactly 90 degrees, no more no less. Because that’s what the rule book says it has to be. What a total joke. It’s used by generous panels as a way to manipulate a base value not going down, on top of lowered GOE.And yet some people want to get rid of the "q."
And I’m still arguing 10+ years later that edge and warning calls need to go away because it’s selectively applied even when CLEAR evidence is repeatedly given of lifetime offenders. Call the jump by the takeoff edge. Done. Watch how many skaters start cleaning up their jumps and/or taking certain jumps out that they otherwise got full credit for.
