taka, that's what I was wondering too... Will anything involving 1/2 loop be called as combo or sequence at this level? It's a combo now in elite levels, but silver is judged under 6.0.
I found
this 2006 thread from the archive to be helpful, just not sure if everything is still up to date...
ISU definition (at least back then): "A jump sequence may consist of any number of jumps of any number of revolutions linked by hops, mazurkas and non-listed jumps immediately following each other, while maintaining the jump rhythm (knee). There can be not more than one (1) revolution on the ice between any hop, mazurka, non-listed jump or jump. There can be no crossovers or stroking during the sequence. A jump sequence, consisting of only one listed jump together with other non-listed jumps is not considered a jump-sequence but will count as a single jump
- Guess my question above concerning "half-loop - salchow" will count as salchow with a special entrance then.
- Does "waltz - tap toe - waltz" qualify? (rulebook says half or single, my guess is yes, even though it's less commonly seen)
- Would "lutz - side tap toe - LFO3-turn -flip" qualify? Three turn is not listed in the definition above.
...
If 1/2 loop is still legitimate, I think I'll also consider toe loop - 1/2 loop - salchow... to work on all of my worst jumps in a sequence!
