ISU COMMUNICATION 1672
Amendments to the Scale of Values, Guidelines for Marking GOE and Levels, 2011-12
Side-by-side comparison of changes from 1611 to 1672
Scale of Values
2T base value reduced from 1.4 to 1.3.
2S base value reduced from 1.4 to 1.3.
Level 2 step sequence increased from 2.3 to 2.6.
Positive GOE (+3,+2,+1) for Level 4 regular step sequences and Choreo Spirals and Choreo Step Sequences decreased from 3, 2, 1 points to 2.1, 1.4, 0.7 points.
Pairs throws:
2TTh base value reduced from 2.6 to 2.5.
2STh base value reduced from 2.6 to 2.5.
2LoTh base value reduced from 3.0 to 2.8.
GOE
Singles GOE Changes:
new -> Steps, does not correspond to the music: -1 to -2
Steps. listed jumps with more than half rev. included: -1 (listed is new, so I assume you can't do a half-loop in steps now, since half-loop is now a listed jump)
Spin, -2 to -3 GOE (must be minus) for less than required positions in the SP has been removed. Not meeting the positions requirement for spins with change of foot in the SP will make the spin have no level and no value now instead of reducing GOE. In the FS the same spin would be called Level 1. Spin combinations with change of foot in the SP and FS will be Level 1 if all three basic positions are not met.
Pairs GOE Changes:
Previously: Twists, lady not caught at the waist was -2, final GOE must be in the minuses
Now: Twists, lady not caught at the waist is -1 to -2 GOE, final GOE not restricted
Solo and Pairs Spin, -2 to -3 GOE (must be minus) for less than required positions in the SP has been removed. Not meeting the positions requirement will make the spin be called Level 1 instead of reducing GOE.
new -> Steps, does not correspond to the music: -1 to -2
Steps. listed jumps with more than half rev. included: -1
Levels features changes
Steps: the criteria to satisfy the use of upper body movements level feature in singles and pairs step sequences has been reduced from a combined total of 2/3 to 1/2 of the step sequence pattern.
Spins: clear change of edge feature now counts for layback and Biellmann positions as well.
Singles-only
Steps:
2 different combinations of 3 difficult turns quickly executed within the sequence (Feature #5). Previous requirement for #5 was "combination of difficult turns quickly executed in both directions, at least twice within the sequence."
* Two combinations of difficult turns are considered to be the same (i.e. NOT different) if they consist of the same turns done in the same order and on the same edges.
Difficult turns include rockers, counters, brackets, twizzles and loops (loops new for 2011-12).
Spins:
Flying entry spin variation now only counts as a feature to increase Level once per program (in the first spin where the feature is attempted). Normal flying camel entry does not count a a Level feature (but counts as an attempt at FCSp).
8 revolutions without change in position/foot/variation/edge can count as a feature only once per spin now, not "twice (if repeated on another foot)" as in 2010-11. [Feature #8].
Change of position backwards-sideways or reverse must be clear in the layback spin to meet Feature #9.
Pairs-only
Lifts:
Previous Feature #7 (landing variation) removed; now combined with Feature #1 (take-off variation). Seniors no longer can meet 2 level features with a difficult take-off + difficult landing in the same lift.
Feature #1 now is:
Seniors: difficult variation of the take-off and/or difficult landing variety
Juniors: Simple variation of the take-off and/or simple landing variety (each counts as a feature)
Simple landing: a different landing foot is not automatically considered a simple landing variety.
Difficult take-off: inside axel take-off in 5ALi and 5SLi is considered as a difficult take-off variation.
Pair Spins:
execution of 4 difficult variations (each variation of each partner counted separately) will result in 2 Level features independent on the order of these variations if at least 2 of these variations are executed in basic positions and each partner has at least 1 variation. (new requirement underlined)
Death Spirals:
Feature #1 (Difficult entry and/or exit): Difficult entry to a death spiral should be on the curve and on the leg of the death spiral and while acquiring the actual death spiral position there should be a continuous and not too prolonged movement to this position.
If during the Death Spiral Lady’s head never reaches the level of her skating knee, the Death Spiral will have no value.
Previous rule: Any part of the Death Spiral with a higher lady’s or man’s position is not valid for Level features #3 (change of arm hold) and #4 (additional revolutions).
FYI: requirements for lady's death spiral "low" position:
for inside Death Spirals - the lowest hip or buttock and head should not be higher than her skating knee;
for outside Death Spirals - head should not be higher than her skating knee and bodyline between knee of skating leg and head should be flat or shallow arch.
