The Broadmoor Summer Competition includes a jump competition. It is a lot of fun, and it is available for on-line viewing.

really? =O
how does it take place? every skater does a single jump one by one or they show all their abilities and who jumps the most/better wins?

The rules are on page 13 of the above file.

For seniors, each competitor has 5 minutes to complete the assignex jumps. No music is used.

Every jump is executed twice, and the best one is judged. The skater may choose not to do his second attempt at a given jump, but must signal the ref that he will not do the second jump.

For seniors, the jumps are:
Double or triple axel
double or triple lutz out of footwork
2 jump combination jump-quads, triples, doubles of the skater's choice
All jumps must be performed as described by the skater/coach on the sheet filled in prior to the event

Judging is 6.0, majority rules.

Jason won this year

There is also a spin challenge event and a compulsory moves event

Events are competed at all skill levels, but the jump requirements are different for different levels.

thank you :)
In my mind I was thinking something different... but 5 minutes to complete jumps with no music... mmmh... it doesn't seem so appealing :think:
I'll try to find some videos!
