Free program requirements (for both boys and girls): 8 elements a) max. 5 jump elements, of which i) one (1) Axel-type jump ii) max. two (2) jump combinations or one jump combination without an Euler jump and one jump sequence. ● The combination and sequence may consist of only two jumps. ● In the jump sequence, the second jump must be an Axel-type jump, i.e., with a take-off directly from the first jump's landing curve to the Axel's take-off curve. Jumps performed in the jump sequence receive full value. ● If an Euler jump (half-loop) is used between the two basic jumps in a combination or sequence, the Euler itself is not counted as a basic jump and is not included in the total number of jumps in the combination or sequence. After an Euler jump, a foot change is not allowed. In the free program, only one Euler jump is allowed. iii) 3x and 4x jumps are not allowed. iv) Only one 1x and one 2x jump (including 2A) can be repeated in the program. ● In the free program, bonus points are awarded for performing jumps of different types (6 different types of jumps), regardless of rotations and according to the requirements of a well-balanced program. To receive bonus points, all different types of jumps must be valid, i.e., the technical panel must not consider them invalid elements (*). The total bonus points are two (2) points.
2026/20276 / 11 Estonian Skating Unionb) max. 2 different spins, of which i) one (1) spin combination with a foot change (min. 8 revolutions) or without a foot change (min. six (6) revolutions in total). ● For a spin combination with a foot change, only one level feature per foot is taken into account. ● Entry from a jump is allowed. ● Non-basic position variations (catchfoot, camel, sit or upright spin) are not considered level features in any spin and are not evaluated by the Technical Panel. ii) one (1) spin in one position and without a foot change (min. six (6) revolutions). The spin is performed in the basic position without difficult variations (catchfoot, camel, sit or upright spin) and its maximum level is Basic. Level features are not allowed in this spin. It is possible to perform 8 revolutions, but it is not considered a feature attempt. ● Entry from a jump is not allowed. c) one (1) step sequence that covers the entire ice surface and includes at least one movement element such as a spiral, spread eagle, Ina Bauer, hydroblading, etc. If a movement element is missing, no level will be awarded. At least 2 difficult turns and steps must be performed with clean edges to achieve the basic level. The Technical Panel does not evaluate the following elements: Feature 3) use of body movements for at least 1/3 of the pattern and Feature 4) two combinations of three difficult turns on different feet and Feature 5) body movements that are incorporated into a combination of three difficult turns. Twizzle turns are evaluated if there are at least 2 revolutions. ● In all elements where levels are assigned, features are evaluated only up to level 2. ● Fall Each fall outside an element: -0.5 points Fall in an element: the technical panel determines, but there is no penalty. The components that are evaluated are: ● Composition ● Presentation ● Skating skills The factor of the components is 1.67 The music selection must suit both the skater and their age. Costumes must be age-appropriate and suitable for the competition environment for the skaters participating. Attention should also be paid to the amount of cosmetics used by young athletes.

Euler jumps cannot be added to short program jump combinations. Neither the short nor the free program provides for a 1.1 factor for jump elements performed in the second part. ● In all elements where levels are assigned, features are considered only up to level 3.

Transition to the second and/or third jump is by stepping directly from the first/second jump landing edge to the Axel take-off edge. If an Euler jump (half-loop) is used between two basic jumps in a jump combination or sequence, the Euler jump itself is not counted as a basic jump and is not included in the total number of jumps in the combination or sequence.

Costumes must be age-appropriate and suitable for the competition environment for the skaters participating. Attention should also be paid to the amount of cosmetics used by young athletes. ISU system evaluation criteria changes (adaptations for children/youth categories):
- Athletes cannot move from A-class to B-class during the season. In case of non-compliance, the club will be deprived of the support of the Youth Sports.
- Evaluation criteria are provided in ISU Comm. 2788, 2786, TPHB 2026/2027 and related annexes.
- Program duration – a penalty of 0.5 points for each excess or missing up to 5 seconds.
- Late start of the program -0.5 points
- Interruptions in the program: For each interruption that is:
- 10 to 20 seconds: -0.5

In the free program, there is no provision for a 1.1 factor for jump elements performed in the second half of the program.
- Protest A protest must be submitted to the category referee in written form and within the time limit (ISU Competition-and-Event-Regulations, Rule 15.1). If the referee is not available, the protest must be submitted to the organizing committee with a request to forward it to the referee. A protest cannot be filed against the assessments of referees, judges, and the technical panel (technical controller, technical specialists) regarding the athlete's performance. A protest regarding incorrect mathematical calculation will be accepted no later than 24 hours after the awarding of the respective competition. Errors in identifying an element or determining its level, although they result in a decrease or increase in points, do not fall under the concept of "mathematical calculation error" 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 referee has the right and obligation to correct errors on their own, even if no protest is filed. This can be done in two cases:
- before the awarding, when the data entry operator has made an incorrect entry, and
- within 24 hours after the awarding, when an incorrect mathematical calculation is discovered. In both cases, the controller and both specialists must agree that the error actually existed. If the correction changes the final places, the medals and awards must also be redistributed. The referee must make a written note of such a situation.
2026/20275 / 11 Estonian Skating UnionAll protests (except for incorrect mathematical calculation) must be submitted no later than 30 minutes after the end of the respective segment. A protest can be filed only by the athlete or the team leader accredited for the respective competition, or by the members of the competition organizing committee or clubs that have entered the competitor, with their consent. The cost of filing a protest is 50€ and it must be paid together with the submission of the protest. If the protest is resolved positively, the money will be refunded. Otherwise, the protest money will remain with the competition organizer. 9. 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. 10.

Jumps performed in the jump sequence receive full value. ● If an Euler jump (half-loop) is used between the two basic jumps in a combination or sequence, the Euler itself is not counted as a basic jump and is not included in the total number of jumps in the combination or sequence. After an Euler jump, a foot change is not allowed. In the free program, only one Euler jump is allowed. iii) 3x and 4x jumps are not allowed. iv) Only one 1x and one 2x jump (including 2A) can be repeated in the program. ● In the free program, bonus points are awarded for performing jumps of different types (6 different types of jumps), regardless of rotations and according to the requirements of a well-balanced program. To receive bonus points, all different types of jumps must be valid, i.e., the technical panel must not consider them invalid elements (*). The total bonus points are two (2) points.

The Technical Panel does not evaluate the following elements: Feature 3) use of body movements for at least 1/3 of the pattern and Feature 4) two combinations of three difficult turns on different feet and Feature 5) body movements that are incorporated into a combination of three difficult turns. Twizzle turns are evaluated if there are at least 2 revolutions. ● In all elements where levels are assigned, features are evaluated only up to level 2. ● Fall Each fall outside an element: -0.5 points Fall in an element: the technical panel determines, but there is no penalty.
