Well you'd have thought after the controversy last year when the inevitable happened on SCD they'd have dropped it.
Considering the ridiculous disclaimers they now have on competitions you would think they'd be much clearer about the combined voting process - at the very least having a page online to explain it all. The actual T&Cs don't expand on the 50/50 system at all - they just say in the event of a tie, the viewer vote "in general" takes precedence:

P.S. Good to see the Ice Star thing back - I was thinking that had been quietly dropped in the hope we'd all forgotten about it from last year. Would have been better though to show this before the Skate Off results, which not only would mean lines could stay open for the first 15 minutes of the show, but would also give the show a much better structure too.
