A well-balanced Free Skating program must contain 8 elements in total:

Jumps
1T 1S 1Lo 1F 1Lz 1A 2T 2S 2Lo 2F 2Lz 2A

Maximum of five (5) jump elements:

1. Maximum of one (1) Axel type jump and one (1) double jump are allowed
2. Any jump with the same name may be executed only twice
3. Maximum of three (3) jump combinations or two (2) jump combinations and one (1) jump sequence:
   • A jump combination and a jump sequence consist of two (2) jumps
   • In the jump sequence the second jump must be an Axel type jump with a direct step from the landing curve of the first jump in to the take-off curve of the Axel jump. One full revolution on the ice be- tween the jumps (free foot can touch the ice, but without weight transfer) keeps the element in the frame of the definition of a jump sequence. Jumps executed in a jump sequence receive their full value

Spins

Minimum one (1) and maximum of two (2) spins of a different nature.

Steps

One (1) Step Sequence covering at least 2/3 of the ice surface.

Components

The Program Components are only judged in:

• Skating Skills
• Presentation
• Composition

The Factor of the Program Components is 2.0 for Boys; 1.7 for Girls.

• In all elements, which are subject to Levels, only features up to Level 2 will be counted. All additional features will not count for Level requirements and will be ignored by the TP.
• The level of spins and step sequence cannot be higher than Base
• There will be no special factor of 1.1 for jump elements performed in the second half of the program.
• Evaluation is in accordance with ISU Communication No.2489 (or any update).
