May I answer that with another question? What is the point of giving Plus GoEs if a skater has complied with the base value of the jump? He did what he was supposed to do. Now, if he adds something that is out of the ordinary, say a Tano, or even more difficult, 'hands on hips', then it is reasonable to give a plus GoE These instances and probably others show an addition which is the definition of plus in arithmetic as well as in life.1. Suppose you are judging, say, a novice competition, Someone does a pretty good triple jump. Not Brian Joubert pretty good, but pretty good for the competition at hand. Would that skater get a +2 GOE for doing the best jump of the day?
IMO, the entrance of a jump, is not the jump itself and should be covered in the PC scores. Jumps are Takeoffs, Air Turns and Landings.
Takoffs describe what the jump is! It's the only part of a jump that gives it a name.
Air Turns show the difficulty in rotations of all jumps. All jumps rotate in the favor of the skater except for rotations both to the left and right which are not considered other than 2 separate jumps.
Landing are covered by regulations in accordance with ISU.
Minus GoEs make sense since complicity of a jump has not been met.
Attemps are used to disguise faulty Take-offs. I'm not sure if the word is in the official vocabulary of the ISU.
