Changes to the assessment criteria of the ISU system (adaptations for children/youth categories):

1. Athletes cannot move from A-class to B-class during the season. In case of violation of the rules, the club will be deprived of support from the Youth Sports Foundation.
2. The evaluation criteria are presented in ISU Comm. 2701 and related appendices.
3. No more than two 1x, 2x, or 3x jumps (including 1A) can be performed in the program.
4. Program duration – a penalty of 0.5 points for each excess or missing 5 seconds.
5. Falls:  Each fall outside an element -0.5 points  Fall in an element: the technical panel identifies, but there is no penalty.
6. Interruptions in the program: Each 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

7. In the free program, there is no factor of 1.1 for jump elements performed in the second half of the program.
8. Protest A protest must be submitted to the category referee in writing. If the referee is not available, the protest must be submitted by email to the competition secretariat, who will forward it to the referee. (ISU Rule 123). A protest cannot be filed against the referees', judges', and technical panel's (technical controller, technical specialists) assessment of 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 may 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. All protests (except for incorrect mathematical calculation) must be submitted no later than 30 minutes after the end of the respective segment. A protest can only be filed by the athlete or the team leader accredited for the 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 must be paid together with the submission of the protest. If the protest is resolved positively, the money will be refunded. Otherwise, the protest fee will remain with the competition organizers.
