Singles and Pairs
Rewarding Jumps Completed Later in the Short Program
ISU Single & Pair Technical Committee (SPTC) & Norway:
In the Short Program of Single Skating the base values (but not the GOE’s) for all jump elements started in the second half of the program will be multiplied by a special factor 1.1 in order to give credit for even distribution of difficulties in the program. Each factored base value for all jump elements performed in the second half of the Short Program will be rounded to two decimal places. The second half commences in the middle of the maximum time which means 1 min. 25 sec.
Reason: To give credit for even distribution of difficulties in Short Program, not only in Free skating. This adjustment of the rule will get better balanced short programs, now most Skaters do all the difficult elements in the beginning of the program.
Vocal Music for Singles and Pairs
Skate Canada & Spanish Figure Federation:
Delete deduction for vocal music in Junior and Senior Singles and Pairs
Reason: To allow vocal music in junior and senior singles and pairs, bringing those disciplines in alignment with the ice dance and synchronized disciplines, and allowing Skaters the full range of musical options when designing programs. The use of vocal music has been very successful in the ice dance and synchronized disciplines. The television networks are requesting the use of vocal music in singles and pairs to increase the entertainment value for the viewing audience. The viewing audience (through all media) is essential for the visibility of the sport and the financial success of both the ISU and its members.
ISU SPTC:
Increase vocal music deduction to 2 points from 1 point currently
Reasoning: The Committee discussed the proposal of Finland, Figure for a Technical Rules change which will allow vocal music in Singles and Pairs. As there are both positive and negative impacts of the proposed change, the Committee decided to leave the decision to the ISU Congress 2012 (of course if there will be a corresponding proposal for a change in Special Regulations). However in case of the Congress decision to allow vocal music, the Committee recommends to implement it only after OWG 2014. Up to that moment the Committee proposes to increase the deduction for vocal music to avoid any intentional violation of the Rule and to be in line with the Ice Dance violation of music restrictions.
Costume Rules
ISU SPTC:
No kind of political, religious or racial propaganda is allowed on the costume.
Reason: self-explanatory.
("No more DomShab" or "Yags' One Banana" rule? )
The decoration on costumes must be non-detachable.
Reason: to be in line with subparagraph 1. c) of the Ice Dance Technical Rules.
Spin Positions and Levels
ISU SPTC:
- Remove language about "intermediate positions."
- Define clearly layback and sideways leaning spins. (Layback Spin is an upright spin in which head and shoulders are leaning backward and the back arched. The position of the free leg is optional. Sideways Leaning Spin is an upright spin in which head and shoulders are leaning sideways and the body is arched. The position of the free leg is optional.)
Reason: the SPTC does not consider the term “intermediate positions” as necessary any longer; however to give credit to variety in spin, in combinations one difficult variation in a non-basic position can still be counted to increase the Level; a change of position with a jump is planned as a separate Level feature; definitions of layback and sideways leaning spins must be given.
Step/Moves Sequences Changes
ISU SPTC:
- Add "Step sequences must fully utilize the ice surface."
- Remove language describing circular, straight line and serpentine step sequences separately.
Reason: with the current requirements step sequences no longer have any described above (straight line, circular, serpentine) shape.
Add the "Choreographic Sequence" to replace the Spiral sequence in Ladies and Pairs and the Choreo Step Sequence in Mens.
A Choreographic Sequence consist of any kind of movements like steps, turns, spirals, arabesques, spread eagles, Ina Bauers, hydroblading, transitional (unlisted) jumps, spinning movements etc. A Choreographic Sequence for Ladies & Pairs must include at least one spiral (not a kick) of any length. The Sequence commences with the first move and is concluded with the last move of the Skater. The pattern is not restricted, but the Sequence must fully utilize the ice surface. If this requirement is not fulfilled, the Sequence will have no value. The Choreographic Sequence has to be performed later then the step sequence. The Choreographic Sequence has a base value and will be evaluated by the judges in GOE only.
Reason: to allow more variety in the programs.
.....
Senior Free Skate Requirements
ISU SPTC:
Men: change choreo step sequence to choreo sequence
.....
Levels of Elements
ISU SPTC:
Lifts, twist lifts and death spirals (pairs), spins and steps (singles and pairs) are divided depending on their difficulty in five (5) Levels (instead of 4)
according to the number of features achieved: Basic Level – in case of no features, Level 1 – in case of one feature, Level 2 – in case of two features, Level 3 – in case of three features and Level 4 – in case of four or more features.
Reason: to give credit to Skaters who have achieved one Level feature in comparison with Skaters who did not achieve any Level features in a particular element.
Free Skate Draw Changes
ISU SPTC:
There will be no draw for the order of skating in each group, competitors will skate in reverse order to their places in the preceding segment of the competition, that is, with the best placed Competitor skating last. The order of skating between tied Competitors shall be determined by a separate draw.
Reason: To implement for the Free Skating the same practice as in the ISU Grand Prix Events.
NOTE: ice dance technical committee did not propose to change the free dance draw. Yet...
