Can anyone explain why and how certain jumps are considered more difficult than others, and the reasons for their respective base values?
Double Axel 2A 3.5
Triple Toeloop 3T 4.0
Triple Salchow 3S 4.5
Triple Loop 3Lo 5.0
Triple Flip 3F 5.5
Triple Lutz 3Lz 6.0
Triple Axel 3A 8.2
Quad Toeloop 4T 9.8
Quad Salchow 4S 10.3
Quad Loop 4Lo 10.8
For example, why is the 3Lo considered "easier" than the 3Lz, and deserving of 1.0 less base points? Why is the 3S "easier" and "worth less" than the 3F?
Do you agree with these differences in base values? Is the hierarchy of difficulty reasonable and consistent?
