This helps Kostornaia a lot, I think it also benefits Sasha relative to Kamila and Anna (most affected of the three). I think it will help prolong Valieva's career if policed properly.

I am curious to see how the additional scrutiny to jumps will work out. It addresses a lot of complaints on the forums, so I hope it will satisfy at least someone.
semantics evolve... i love how the Russians use cascade. I also liked when, in the old times, some skaters would do a series (that's my favourite word for it) of multiple jumps, (3-4, even 5) with different tricks in them including what we would call combo, Eu, Seq. If the rules keep changing, you bet I will not get attached to semantics... if the SEQ is no longer discriminated, then it's no longer a SEQ but just a COMBO.You are free to see whatever you want to see, you can even fully ignore why the name is a "sequence" and not a "combination".
What kind of new intresting layouts are possible with the A seq (mediocre non russian woman with no ultra c, shaky 3-3, but all the triples)?
And how could a Eteri Top woman improve her layout?
But it won't work due to Zayak rule? With this layout you have to do a solo 2A, so you can't have two 2As in a combo. Look at Kurakova's layout, for example. It's +Eu+3F, not +Eu+3S, but still illustrates what I mean.Well, they can do +eu+3S, and 2 x 2A seq, then solo 3T and 3Lo instead of in combo.
That to me would be biggest advantage or something along that.
To some degree, I think, but I'm going to need others to chime in to confirm or refute....I don't like the new rule regarding the 2A SEQ. Free skates of many (female) skaters contain at least one solo 2A and a combination like 3F+3T. With this new rule they are not really motivated to keep doing the relatively difficult 3F+3T because they can do 3F+2A SEQ and a solo 3T instead.
not so sure about that.... i think what is required is to include an axel type jump... and it can be in any way or form. Veronik Mallet used to finish her LP with a 2a-2a sequence... I think that's possible.But it won't work due to Zayak rule? With this layout you have to do a solo 2A, so you can't have two 2As in a combo. Look at Kurakova's layout, for example.

But it will be possible to do 3-2T-2(T/Lo) and two 2A SEQs.
I don't mean it's required to include a solo axel. I mean if you go 3+Eu+3S, 3 solo triples and two 3+2As, you have a free jumping pass, but you can't do one more triple jump or one more 2A because of Zayak rule.not so sure about that.... i think what is required is to include an axel type jump... and it can be in any way or form.

yes... that's correct. Sorry i misunderstood your post. In kurakova's layout, then her SEQ gets her more points... So in this case, it does help a skater who is not doing a +3t or + 3loop combo... but it could also help a skater who does a 3t-3t combo or a 3loop-3loop combo... or even one with a quad...I don't mean it's required to include a solo axel. I mean if you go 3+Eu+3S, 3 solo triples and two 3+2As, you have a free jumping pass, but you can't do one more triple jump or one more 2A because of Zayak rule.
Katya's layout illustrates it well
I was thinking mostly for Tuktamysheva with the 3A, but yeah without an ultra-C I can't think of a layout that doesn't require a double jump.But it won't work due to Zayak rule?

yup. you can still keep the 2A in. In the FS it's less about a 3A vs a 2A, it's an extra jump to include instead of a 2T - so a 3A vs a 2T. (with SEQ the 3A replaces the 2A that replaces the 2T)Yes, without a 3A/quad they will be forced to do a double jump. Even a 3A however does alleviate that issue which really goes to show the huge advantage that it can give a skater not just in terms of BV vs a 2A.
YupAre the euler combo jumps still legal?
We’ll see. But I hope at least peeps would be happy that there is a very distinctive acknowledgement of the issue. Even fall equals -1 rule is used with some discretion, so that’s business as usual, but now PR is spelled out as a mistake they will be looking at specifically.Oh I doubt it. Some folks are never satisfied. If anything this gives the PR fanatics more ammunition.
Good on the chart, but last year we saw a 4S scored as a 4Lz.
- Poor take-off: For example a toe-assisted jump is taken off from the full blade, Toe Loop is executed like a Toe Axel or there is excessive rotation on the ice at the take-off. The reduction in GOE is -1 to -3.
