News about the ISU rules, they are pretty clear. I can see that now skaters can jump 2 quads in the SP but they must be different. Do you think that Zhenya will surprise us with a 4Lz or a 4 Lo? I really hope so.
The half loop is now considered as a part of a three-jump combination and will receive the starting value of a single loop
Bring back the 3A-1/2Lo/3F combo!!!!!!!

Communication No. 1619
Single & Pair SkatingI. Some changes in Special Regulations and Technical Rules accepted by the 53rd ISU Congress
Changes in Technical Rules:1. Single and Pair Skating (Senior and Junior):a) Jumps Combination: If the jumps are connected with a non-listed jump, the element is called as a jump sequence.
However half-loop when used in combinations/sequences is considered as a listed jump with the Value of a Loop.b) Spins: Spin in one position and (in Singles) Flying spin (which means a spin with a flying entrance and no change of foot and position): the concluding upright position at the end of the spin (final wind-up) is not considered to be another position independent of the number of revolutions, as long as in such a final windup no additional feature is executed (change of edge, variation of position etc.).
(This means that when a skater does a flying camel, for example, the final two or three rotations that are done in an upright position of sorts have no effect on the rest of the spin and won't be counted for anything. If there is an additional feature during this upright position, the spin would no longer be called a spin in one position or a flying spin. The flying spin is a required element of the singles short programs.)2. Short Program for Single Skating (Senior and Junior):a) The
Short Program consists of seven (7) required elements.b) Men, Seniors and Juniors:
only one step sequence (straight line, circular or serpentine) is included.
...
e) Men, Senior:
it is possible to execute two different quadruple jumps - one in combination and one as solo jump.f) Men, Senior:
the landing position of the flying spin and the position of the spin in one position must be different (e.g. FCSp and СSSp).
(Therefore, if a skater is doing a flying camel spin, they must do a sit/change/sit spin. If they are doing a flying sit spin, they must do a camel/change/camel spin. This rule is extremely interesting, as most male skaters last year opted to do both a flying sit spin and a sit/change/sit spin. Back to work on the spins!)3. Free Program for Single Skating (Senior and Junior):a) A Double Axel cannot be included more than two (2) times in total in a Single’s Free Program (as a SoloJump or a part of Combination/Sequence).
(The previous rule allowed for 3)b) Men, Senior:
the second (in the order of execution) step sequence will always be awarded a fixed Base Value and evaluated by Judges in GOE only. This sequence can have any pattern while fully utilizing the ice surface.(There must be at least 2 positions held for at least 3 seconds each, or one long spiral held for a minimum of 6 seconds. If this requirement is not met, the value of the spiral will be 0).....
6. Illegal elements: If there is an illegal movement during the execution of any element, the deduction for an illegal movement will apply and the element will receive Level 1 if the requirements for at least Level 1 are fulfilled. Otherwise the element will be called “No Level”.
Changes in Special Regulations:....
2. Fresh start: the deduction of -2.0 will be no longer applied in case of a fresh start; the Judges however will be advised that a “fresh start” might negatively influence the Components scores.
( ... due to equipment failure or any other temporary pause. The may definitely needs to be stressed here, as a break in the skaters program isn't always necessarily at the fault of the skater. If they can get right back into the character after the break, then there shouldn't have to be a negative influence in the scores)3. Deductions:...
b) falls and illegal elements:
The Technical Controller and the Technical Specialists decide on deductions for falls and illegal elements. The deduction is applied with a majority decision.
....
5. Entries for ISU Championships:
To be entered into and participate in the Championships/Qualifying Round of a Senior ISU Championships a Competitor must have reached in an ISU recognized International Competition during the ongoing or immediately preceding season the minimum Total Technical Scores (points).
The minimum Total Technical Scores for the ISU Championships 2011 are:
Men SP 20,0 FS 35,0
Ladies SP 15,0 FS 25,0
Pair Skating SP 17,0 FS 30,0
.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Communication 1619 are just a "general" changes, I suppose that were adopted and the changes related to the number of points for some elements from the previous "
Communication 1611":
http://isu.sportcentric.net/db//files/serve.php?id=1862- base value for Quad & 3 Axel little raised
- base value for 2 Axel reduced
- 3S and 3F will worth less
- added a bonus for jumps in combos
- for under-rotated jumps (Quads) are given 70% of the base value for the full jump if they're between half and quarter under rotated, only downgraded if they're are more than a half off...
.... and no more random selection 2 scores by computer - just thrown out highest and lowest marks
