I think some professional competitions do it that way. Also, I can't speak for how long Olympic-eligible has used the present system. I've been a serious fan since the mid 90's, so that's all I'm absolutely sure of.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Susan -- That anonymous system you described boggles me. I am boggled. Shake me up and look for words.
I tend to agree with Billytea (doin' the secret actuary handshake). I think we should be as inclusive as possible, so I'd prefer 2-100 over 10-65.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As long as every one understands that FIFTY IS THE CORRECT ANSWER, I don't care what the range is for MVT voting.

Most fans are boggled, and while the skaters are trying to be diplomatic, we think they are, too. There's even going to be an official No Secret Judging protest at Worlds at the end of the month, with some pretty savvy PR types from the fandom shepherding it.

It is not at all surprising to me that I agree with Jesse!

Our wings are not tired.
2-100 makes more sense to me too.

Me and you, Sophia. Co-Rulers of All Buffistadom. It could work!

Two rulers? How would you break a tie?

There would be no ties! We both know the One True Answer.
