Hello figure skating experts. I was checking rules and found something interesting (I am not at expert and would appreciate if you can answer my question).
Jump sequences are evaluated as one unit by adding the Base Values of the two jumps, multiplying the result by 0.8 and applying the GOE of the jump with the higher numerical value. The factored Base Value of the jump sequence will be rounded to two decimal places.
Jump Sequences
A jump sequence consists of 2 (two) jumps of any number of revolutions, beginning with any jump, immediately followed by an Axel type jump with a direct step from the landing curve of the first jump to the take-off curve of the Axel jump.
For example: 3T + 2A will be considered as jump sequence and rule “0.8” will apply. (4.20 + 3.3)*0.8=6.0
It means she/he will lose points doing this jump sequence, did I understand it correctly?
But 2A + 3T will be considered as jump combination and will get full value.
Jump Combinations In a jump combination the landing foot of a jump is the take off foot of the next jump. One full revolution on the ice between the jumps (free foot can touch the ice, but no weight transfer) keeps the element in the frame of the definition of a jump combination.
An Euler (half-loop) when used in combinations between two listed jumps becomes a listed jump with the value indicated in the Scale of Value.
If the first jump of a two-jump-combination fails to be successful and turns out as a “non-listed jump”, the unit will still be considered as a jump combination.
