Thank you for the explanation!Yes, it's something USFS is doing at domestic comps.
The first Y is the body rotation, the second is the body movement, and the third are the two clusters.
I had no idea, so was mystified to see them.

I wonder when the official K&C appeared.I know they don't do K&C, but for instance, when I go to Philadelphia International or have seen any of these comps via stream, they have still announced the scores.
Cranberry does K&C (or did the year I went) cuz they're fancy.
That must have been ages ago.I wonder when the official K&C appeared.
Back in the day, there wasn't one. Skaters just stood at the boards and awaited their marks, but at least their marks were shown and announced.
Oh, thanks a heap . I was feeling relatively youthful today until now. Going back into my fading memories of competing beginning in the 1970s, I can tell you that there was a K&C at upper level competitions, but not lower than national championships. Not in Canada, anyway. I was a flower girl at the Canadian championships in 1967, and there was no K&C then, so that was added at the national levels somewhere in the late 1960s or c1970? There might have been something at the world and Olympic level earlier in the 60s when the sport began to be shown on TV; that I can't remember. It was television producers who added the K&C, though. Gave the announcers a chance to interview the skaters while sitting on a bench with their coaches, waiting to see their marks. Then as more and more lower competitions began to be shown on TV the idea filtered down, until it began to show up at some low-level events that were being streamed and/or filmed for YouTube viewing, depending on the enthusiasm of the organizers to add all the touches of the bigger events.That must have been ages ago.
The skaters stood by the boards, no K&C, as late as the 1976 Olympics.
I just YouTubed Dorothy Hamill's free skate, and she was just standing there with her coach. And, of course, Dick Button.
I didn't look at Olympic performances on You Tube before I answered about that, but I checked the 1973 Worlds, Karen Magnussen's freeskate, and there was a K&C with a red bench there where she sat with her coach while someone leaned in and stuck a microphone in her face . Obviously hit-and-miss in the 70s then. My partner and I never made it to that high a level, so I never saw personally what happened after you finished. At Canadians we just stood around by the ice exit and he told me what we'd got because I didn't wear my glasses to skate and couldn't see the marks. About the only thing I shared with Dorothy Hamill .The skaters stood by the boards, no K&C, as late as the 1976 Olympics.

Some of the larger/more important nonqualifying competitions may use open marking (reading scores), and it may be more common for the qualifying NQS events.I know they don't do K&C, but for instance, when I go to Philadelphia International or have seen any of these comps via stream, they have still announced the scores.

Fortunately, someone posted the 20+ minute pairs event, with four Irvine pairs teams competing. The free skate video may or may not become available.There is Livestream, but is live only, no replay. Directions in the OP
