Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the take off edge on Flip/Lutz jump. There's a saying I've noticed from another forum that "!" or "e" calls are only being given based the edge before the toe pick hits the ice. The poster further stated that after the toe pick hits the ice, even if the edge changes to outside edge for a flip jump or changes to inside edge for lutz, there should be no calls on edges. Is there any rule book justification for her saying?
Let's say during the very short time period between toe pick hits the ice and skating foot completely leaves the ice, if the skating foot edge has changed to an outside edge for a triple flip, should the judges give an "e" call on that? Thanks in advance to anyone who can give some thoughts and rule support!
