As we get closer to IJS (she is 6.0 now), I'd like to start learning more about IJS. Is there a "cheat sheet" that shows base values for jumps, spins, etc? An IJS for dummies book? It's just for curiosity's sake. I just feel really lame. :blush:
I'd love something like that. The rulebook is just about as clear as mud to me.
Not sure if this site is still valid:

If you're willing to wade through, ISU is the defining body for scale of values; there are changes a'coming for 2012/13, but, here's the link for 2011/12, and there's some good background.

For Canadian skaters this site: http://www.skatinginbc.com/technical has lots of great information that is very easy to understand. You just need to be careful because the BC/YT Section in piloting a couple of new programs at the lower levels.
