This can be if skaters have a "wrong" step sequence / pattern. So for instance, skaters are supposed to perform it in one area on the ice and if they leave that area, the refree will call it. Keep in mind though, they need a 5+ voting, so a 1 of 8 is not counting. The judges have to press "yes" or "no" so to speak, if not enough press the buttons, then no harm is done.
Sorry for the simplistic explanation, I am sure an expert could do better.
Not quite correct. Pattern/placement incorrect or incomplete results in GOE reduction only (in FD).
