2019/2020 1 / 6 Estonian Skating Union EUL CLASSIFICATION 2019/2020 A-CLASSBeginners I A 2013 and younger (Pre-chicks A):Free skating 2:00 min. +/-10 sec.Free skating requirements (for both boys and girls):a) max. 4 jump elements, of which i) max. two (2) jump combinations or sequences. Combinations may consist of only two jumps. The jump sequence consists of two freely chosen jumps with a rotation number. The sequence starts with a freely chosen jump, followed by an Axel-type jump. The transition to the second jump is made by stepping directly from the edge of the first jump's landing to the edge of the Axel jump's takeoff. b) max. two (2) different spins c) one (1) step sequence that covers the entire rink. The step sequence is given a level and the quality of the performance is evaluated. The components to be evaluated are:● Skating skills (skating ability)● Performance (performance) The component factor is 2.5. In all elements for which levels are assigned, features are only taken into account up to level 2. Other features are not taken into account for level determination.Beginners II A 2011/2012 (Chicks A):Free skating 2:00 min.+/-10 sec.Free skating requirements (for both boys and girls):a) max. 4 jump elements, of which i) one (1) jump must be an Axel-type jump. ii) max. two (2) jump combinations or sequences. Combinations may consist of only two jumps. The jump sequence consists of two freely chosen jumps with a rotation number. The sequence starts with a freely chosen jump, followed by an Axel-type jump. The transition to the second jump is made by stepping directly from the edge of the first jump's landing to the edge of the Axel jump's takeoff. b) max. two (2) different spins (min. four (4) rotations) c) One (1) step sequence that covers the entire rink.

Evaluation criteria are ISU Comm. 2254 and related annexes.2. All 1x and 2x jumps (incl. 1A) cannot be performed more than twice in the program.3. Program duration – each additional 5 seconds will result in a penalty of 0.5 points.4. Fall – penalty of 0.5 points.5. Interruptions in the program: Each interruption will result in a penalty: - 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 point of interruption – 2.5 points / program

6. In the free skating program, there is no bonus for jump elements performed in the second part.
7. 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 elements. 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
