2021/2022 / 6 Estonian Skating Union EUL CLASSIFICATION 2021/2022 A-CLASSBeginners I A 2015 and younger (Pre-chicks A): Free skating program 2:00 min. +/-10 sec. Free skating program 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. 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.

Components to be evaluated are: ● Skating skills (skating ability) ● Performance (performance) Component factor is 2.5. In all elements for which levels are assigned, features are only considered up to level 2. Other features are not considered for level assignment.

Free skating program requirements (for both boys and girls): a) max. 4 jump elements, of which i) one (1) must be an Axel-type jump. ii) max. two (2) jump combinations or sequences. Combinations may consist of only two jumps. 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 by stepping directly from the landing curve of the first jump to the takeoff curve of the Axel. b) max. 2 different spins, of which i) one (1) spin combination with a foot change (min. three (3) rotations on each foot) or without a foot change (min. six (6) rotations in total) and ii) one (1) spin with a position change and a foot change (min. three (3) rotations on each foot) or without a foot change (min. six (6) rotations in total).

In all elements for which levels are assigned, features are only considered up to level 2. Other features are not considered for level assignment. ISU system evaluation criteria changes (adaptations for children/youth categories):

1. Evaluation criteria are ISU Comm. 2334 and related addenda.
2. All 1x and 2x jumps (including 1A) cannot be performed more than twice in the program.
3. Program length – every additional 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 Allowing an interruption of up to 3 minutes, with continuation from the point of interruption – 2.5 points/program

6. In the free skating program, there is no factor 1.1 for jump elements performed in the second part.
7. A protest will be accepted no later than 24 hours after the announcement of the competition results. A protest can be submitted if there are arithmetic errors in the protocol. Errors in element identification or level assignment, although they affect 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 written form. 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).
