That is why you have three judges on the panel.
But you don't always. My bronze MITF was done with 1 judge, same as my PB. (Oddly, my PB freeskate had 3 judges, I think it only required 1)
Could you have done a mohawk entry? That may have been easier. I think that is what I did.
Oh god no! Those are way harder than 3-turns.
Being an adult-start skater I am very very sided. Even now, working on silver moves and skating a million times better than I did 3 years ago for Bronze moves I still have a lot of trouble turning with any speed in the CCW direction. If they aren't in the silver move pattern, I can't do them. I turn counter directional in my program, and then switch directions, for pretty much anything that requires me to turn around if I'm going CCW.
If I could have done the moves the other way around the rink I probably would have tested 6-months to a year earlier. More than anything else, turning around to start the move was the most difficult part. (And the first mohawk and first 3-turn of the patterns where those were actually part of the moves.)
I think now with the change to the crossovers in pre-bronze where you have to mohawk to turn around in the figure 8, rather than ending the move and starting again I wouldn't be able to pass. Maybe if I did super slow pre-bronze crossovers, but not at the speed I skate- there is no way I could do it the direction it is written in the rulebook.
