29 just completed (Retrogression is permitted in the step sequence). The step sequence must strat from a clear stopped position )All free skating performances will receive credit for quality of performance including quality of edge, roll and movement over the floor, quality and variety of content items, choreography, difficulty and inventiveness or entry into items and musical interpretation. All freeskating performance will be rewarded on quality and not quantity of elements. Elements that are executed poorly with insufficient rotation either in jumps or spins will receive less credit Elements that are approached and completed with spontaneity and with the minimum of obvious preparation will receive higher credit. Please present the freeskating performances in such a way to get the most credit for the items the skater can do A jump double or triple jump of the same kind (type and rotation), with the exception of one revolution jumps or less, can be performed no more than three (3) times in the whole program.
