Components to be evaluated are: ● Composition ● Presentation ● Skating Skills Component factor is 1.67 All elements for which levels are assigned consider features only up to level 2. Other features are not considered for level determination. ISU system evaluation criteria changes (adaptations for children/youth categories): 1. Evaluation criteria are ISU Comm. 2558 and related addenda. 2. All 1x and 2x jumps (incl. 1A) cannot be performed more than twice in the program. 3. Program duration – every extra 5 seconds will result in a 0.5 point penalty. 4. Fall – 0.5 point penalty. 5. Interruptions in the program: Every interruption that is: - 10 to 20 seconds: - 0.5 - 20 to 30 seconds: - 1.0 - 30 to 40 seconds: - 1.5 Interruption allowed up to 3 minutes, with continuation from the interruption point – 2.5 points/program 6. Part of the costume or decoration falls on the ice: -0.5 7. Violation of costume/requisit rules -0.5 8. Late start: -0.5 9. Free skating does not have a 1.1 factor for jump elements performed in the second part. 10. Protest can be submitted no later than 24 hours after the announcement of the competition results. Protest can be submitted if there are arithmetic errors in the protocol. Errors in element identification or level determination, although they result in a decrease or increase in the point total, do not fall under the concept of "arithmetic errors" or incorrectly entered element(s). In the case of an incorrectly entered element, all members of the technical panel (Technical Controller, both Technical Specialists, and Data Operator) must agree to correct the error. The recording made by the competition organizers will be taken into account. The cost of submitting a protest is 50€ and it must be paid together with the submission of the protest. The protest must be submitted to the category referee in writing. If the referee is not available, the protest must be submitted by e-mail to the competition secretariat, which will forward it to the referee. (ISU Rule 123). 11. At EUL calendar and title competitions, athletes are allowed to participate in higher categories if their skills meet the technical requirements of the given category. 12. The warm-up time is 4 minutes and the warm-up group can have up to 8 competitors. BASIC NOVICE (ISU comm. 2562) Free skating 2:30 min. +/- 10 sec.
