Ever wonder what all the numbers provided in a figure skating competition mean? Why the first place skater didn’t receive a first place ordinal (ranking) from any judge? We will look at the two scoring systems used in figure skating competitions. One, known as the 6.0 system, is used in local competitions; the other, known as the IJS system, is used in all international competitions.
