Scale of Values

[DougDorsey]

So I know, for singles, there was ISU Communication No. 2089 for the 17/18 season, ISU Communication No. 2186 for the 18/19 season, ISU Communication No. 2253 for the 19/20 season, and ISU Communication No. 2475 for the 22/23 season.

For the 20/21 season and 21/22 season, did Communication No. 2253 continue to be in effect? Because I'm not finding scale of value communications specifically for those years.

Did you search ISU website? It's usually there

Yes, @mskater93. Those are the only communications that I found, i.e. I found nothing for the 20/21 season or 21/22 season.

So I'm wondering whether I'm missing something, or whether those seasons simply reused the same exact scale of values from 19/20.

I found a document on my hard drive that was excerpted from ISU Communication 2334, July 8, 2020, for 2020-21 season. That Communication would have included the Scale of Values.

I can't find a document number for 2021-22.

I don't seem to have those documents saved anywhere. And the ISU tends to take them down after they are superseded by the next year's rules.

Thanks, @gkelly. ISU Communication No. 2334 seems to be the Levels and GOE document for the 20/21 season, as opposed to the scale of values document...

However, now that I had a closer look, ISU Communication No. 2334 does confirm that "ISU Communication 2253 [the 19/20 SOV] remains in full force for the season 2020/21." So that answers one question!

That's likely because there were no in-person meetings in spring 2020. No revision to the ISU rulebook for 2020-22 either.

And, actually, ISU Communication No. 2475, which is the scale of value for the 22/23 season, states that it was replacing ISU Communication No. 2253, which would seem to confirm that the Communication No. 2253 scale of value, which was instated for the 19/20 season, remained in effect for 20/21 and 21/22 seasons.
