can someone please explain the new ice skating scoring system?

I haven't really been following ice skating at all lately, but I know that there is now a new system. Anyone care to tell me about it? I just saw a pair skating and saw that they just gave them two totals, but didn't show the scores from each judge. I felt like it was anti climactic that way.

You can read all about it on the NBC olympics website.

Basically, they receive two scores now, the first is for technical elements and is not discretionary. It is based solely on points awarded for specific elements.

The second is qualitative and is based on presentation.

There is no perfect score in the new system.

Twelve judges who are not identified by country judge and then a computer randomly selects 9 that count and the high and low scores are dropped.

The changes are all because of the pairs controversy in the last Winter Olympics.
