Thank you very much for that explanation!Yes. The language allowing jumps to land on the back inside edge of the other foot and be called based on the takeoff is not new -- it's been in the tech panel handbook for several years already, and before that I don't think there was any
What I believe is new is the language stating that this sort of landing is valid specifically for the first jump of a combination.
(If a skater lands on the opposite foot for a solo jump at the end of a combination, the tech panel should still call it as the intended jump, the tech panel should still call it as the intended jump, but it would be considered an error, for judges to reflect in GOE.)
The whole sequence (both jumps) receives 80% base value, not just the axel.
Mindgame: would it be valid to jump a 3F at the end of the SP-combo?
Sample-layout:
4S
3A
====
4T+3F (instead of 4T+3T)
That would increase the BV by 1.21 points (10% bonus included)
I don't know, if it's worth the risk. Quads are hard enough to land on the usual foot...
