The answer to the judging corruption is simple. Skaters face each other in head to head competition in the format of a double elimination tournament. The competition consists of what we used to call HORSE. If you can't do a triple-quad toe-loop spin, that's "H" on you buddy. Of course, maybe I over-simplify...

Whenever computers can take over for making calls or judging in sports, they should be used in my opinion because they have no emotions and cannot be bribed, but they can still make errors if not set up or programmed properly. Tennis is a good example where computers should take over, especially on disputed in or out calls.... Some folks are illogical and sentimental about computers taking over though, and think humans should always judge other humans no matter how unfair or imperfect that may be.
