Why didn't Haruka Imai get any points for her StSq in TEB FS?
There is no longer a required pattern , but a step sequence must fully utilize the ice surface. It must be visible and identifiable and should be performed by using almost the full ice surface either in it length from short barrier to short barrier (e.g. straight line, serpentine or similar shape) or twice in its width from long barrier to long barrier (e.g. circle, oval or similar shape). Failure to achieve the above description will result in no value.
My best guess isvthat, according to the tech panel, Haruka did not fully utilize almost the full ice surface. If she did not do enough features for level1, she would get a base value StSqB, not zero.
