• All elements must meet general criteria and basic requirements in order to be counted (see rule 7150). • Other elements may be incorporated into the free skate and will be judged in the program component mark.
• Mirror image pattern is permitted in elements and transitions.
• Features and additional features are optional. Step sequences are permitted in non-step sequence elements and may also be used during transitions.
• The team must predominantly act as one unit. Division of the team into several units is allowed during the creative element and transitions. Additionally, several units can be used as short transitions if the element following the transition so requires, such as preparation for an intersection or the beginning of a creative element. Excessive division into small groups without the reasons mentioned above is not according to the requirements. • Syncopated choreography may be used.
• Creative innovations and variations are permitted and will be reflected in the program component mark.
• Transitions may be comprised of varied and/or intricate footwork, linking steps, movements, formations and other connecting elements linking all of the required elements. • For illegal and non-permitted elements, see rules 7160 and 7170.
• Definitions of general terms, steps and turns, features and requirements and additional features/extra features can be found in rules 7110-7140.
• A minimum of three different clearly recognizable holds are required. These holds may be done in elements or transitions.
