< Recording the difficulty elements >
All difficulty elements performed must be written down using the FIG shorthand shown in Part 8, (Difficulty Tables / Element Pool and Values), regardless the technical requirements are met or not written in the following pages.
< Evaluating the Difficulty Elements >
- The value is set according to Part 5; Appendix 5, provided the element meets the “technical requirements” as stated. Difficulty element is recognized only with clear “start”, “main phase” and “ending”.
- If the element does not meet the “Technical Requirements”, it is counted as an element, but value is not given.
- A value is given only to the first 8 difficulty elements performed.
- All elements with a 1-Touch / Multiple Touches / Fall will receive “0” value but counted.
- Elements from Family 5 and Family 6 with turns, the form/position must be shown during the airborne phase.
- If any element performed which does not exist in the CoP due to incomplete rotation, it will be counted as a number and will receive the value of completed rotations.
- All elements with turns, must complete minimum of 3/4 of the last turn to receive the value. If not completed, then the element will be downgraded to the next lower value.
- All elements from Family 5: If performed from one foot take off, the element will be downgraded by -0.1 value.
- MP/TR/GR: If members performed different element due to incomplete rotation, they receive the value of lowest rotation element provided that the Technical Requirements are met.
- MP/TR/GR: Family 5 with different take-off within members, they will receive “0” value.
- MP/TR/GR: Family is NOT counted only when 2 different elements are performed at the same time.
- TR / GR: May not perform element overlapping (3 or more competitors in a column from the Judges’ Panel view). If performed, element will be counted but receives “0” value.
- Any additional elements are counted but NOT counted for the Family.
< Evaluating the Combination >
- If all Difficulty elements in a combination set meets the technical requirements, they will receive an additional value of +0.1 / +0.2 points.
- Combination sets more than number allowed will not receive an additional value and will be deducted.
- If one or all the combined element
sperformed with 1-Touch / Multiple Touches / Fall and/or not meeting the technical requirements, the combination will not receive any additional value but will be counted as elements number and a combination set.
