Free skating requirements (for both boys and girls): a) max. 4 jump elements, of which i) max. two (2) jump combinations or one jump combination and one jump sequence. Combinations and sequences may consist of only two jumps. In jump sequences, the second jump must be an Axel-type jump, i.e. with a takeoff from the edge of the first jump's landing directly to the edge of the Axel's takeoff. (Jumps performed in sequences receive full value.) b) max. two (2) different spins c) one (1) step sequence that covers the entire rink. Components (Comm. 2489, "Program Components" table) that are evaluated are: ● Composition ● Presentation ● Skating skills Component factor is 1.67 In all elements where levels are assigned, features are only considered up to level 2. Other features are not considered for level determination. Beginners II A 2014/2015 (Chicks A): Free skating 2:00 min.+/-10 sec.

Other features are not considered for level determination. ISU system evaluation criteria changes (adaptations for children/youth categories):

1. Evaluation criteria are ISU Comm. 2474 and related additions.
2. All 1x and 2x jumps (including 1A) cannot be performed more than twice in the program.
3. Program duration – 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 free skating, there is no factor of 1.1 for jump elements performed in the second part.
7. A protest can be submitted 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 determination, although they result in a change 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.

2022/2023 3 / 6 Estonian Skating Union A protest must be submitted in writing to the category referee. If the referee is not available, the protest must be submitted by email to the competition secretariat, which will forward it to the referee. (ISU Rule 123). 8. In EUL calendar and title competitions, athletes are allowed to participate in higher categories if their skills meet the technical requirements of the given category. 9. The warm-up time is 4 minutes, and there can be up to 8 competitors in the warm-up group. BASIC NOVICE (ISU comm. 2489) Free skating 2:30 min.+/-10 sec.
