+2.0 for three or more different triple jumps in free program

MEN: +1.0 for each different triple jump -3Lo and higher base value

+2.0 for four or more different triple jumps in free program

Examples Used to Illustrate Bonus Application

Type of bonus: different triple jumps

Example

3T+2T+C

3S

3T

3S+2Lo+C

The example above is for Pre-Novice Free Program. Although there are four successful triples in this example, there are only two different triples successfully attempted (3T and 3S). As such, the bonus of 2.0 for three or more different triples in the Free Program would not apply. This rationale also applies to all other categories with this type of bonus.

Example

3S <

3S+2T

3Lo

3T

3F

The example above is for Novice. Although the first attempt at 3S was identified as under-rotated, the skater still successfully attempted four different triple jumps so receives the bonus of 2.0.

Type of bonus: triple jump immediately following a double or triple jump

Example

3Lo+3T+C

The example above is for Pre-Novice. Since this bonus type is only applicable to a 3T immediately following 1A or any double jump the bonus would not be applied.

Example

2Lz+3T<<+C

3Lo+3T+C

The example above is for Novice. The first attempt at a 3T immediately following a double or triple jump was identified as downgraded so is not considered as the first successful attempt. As such, the bonus of 2.0 is applied to the second combination as this is the first successful attempt. This rationale also applies to all other categories with this type of bonus.

Example

2F (skater does two 3-turns) +3T+C

The example above is for Novice. Two 3-turns between jumps in a combination is allowable with the element still satisfying the definition of a jump combination. As such, the bonus of 1.0 will still be awarded. This rationale also applies to all other categories with this type of bonus.

Example

2F+3T+C

3S+3T+C

The example above is for Novice. Because both combinations are successful attempts of the same type of bonus (3T following a double or triple jump), the bonus of 1.0 will be applied to the first combination, with the second combination receiving no bonus. This rationale also applies to all other categories with this type of bonus.

Example

3F< (or <<) +3T+C

The example above is for Novice. Although the first jump is either an under-rotated or downgraded triple, the bonus for any double jump or any under-rotated or downgraded triple jump (+1.0) immediately followed by a 3T, will be applied and not the bonus for any triple jump (+2.0) immediately followed by a 3T. If the first jump were a double and either under-rotated or downgraded, no bonus would apply.

Example

3T+3T+2T+C

2F+3T+3Lo+C

3T+2T+3T+C

3T+1Eu+3S

The examples above are for Junior. The first 2 examples above satisfy the requirement for Junior Women to successfully attempt either a 3T or 3Lo immediately following another triple jump. As such, the 1.0 bonus would apply to each. The third and fourth examples do not satisfy this requirement and will not receive the bonus. This rationale also applies to all other categories with this type of bonus.
