Is anyone else having trouble getting used to the new figure skating scoring?

I'm annoyed at all the skate-holding (I think it looks ugly!), but haven't
really figured out what the other differences are in the scoring now.

Since I haven't heard anyone explain it - I have no idea what's going on,
how they arrive at the scores, or what the new scores mean!

This might help or confuse you further? I remember that the idea was
that no judge would know whose scores would be used in the outcome so
that bulking up marks or downgrading them wouldn't be an advantage to
his/her favourite skater/nation. It seems to be working.....jennellh

Exactly! I miss the predictably of the Russian judge always scoring the
US/Canada low and vice versa.

I agree about the skate holding - not attractive at all.

It seemed to me like the pairs long program didn't have much individuality.
Their programs were so near the same, it was like watching the same thing
over and over, - with tricks in practically the same order - just in
different costumes.

I heard a brief mention that they're talking about revamping the scoring,
again, which would maybe make the programs better - I hope so!

I completely agree! Just takes a very pretty move and turns it ugly as heck!
