I noticed a skater received GOEs of -1, 0, and 1 from the three judges for a single loop, but for the element they received GOE points of 0.07, why wasn’t this 0.00?
This is a rather surprising, but common occurrence under the IJS. This happens because the -1, -2, and -3 GOEs do not have the same absolute value as the +1, +2, and +3 GOEs, so a +1 GOE might give +0.3 points and a -1 GOE might give -0.1 points. In this case, with 3 judges giving +1, -1, and 0, the average GOE points is +0.07 (i.e. (+0.3 -0.1 +0.0)/3). This is the exact case for all the single jumps (except Axel). There are similar issues with all spins, all step and spiral sequences and with single Axel and all double jumps. Really only triple and quad jumps would give (the expected) 0.00 GOE points in this case.
