REMARKS 

Remarks for small gold free and gold free:

• -SHORT: Only one (1) of the compulsory elements can be judged with a -2 value and maximum three (3) elements with a -1 value by the majority of judges. The other elements must have at least a 0 value. The maximum of jump-elements, spins and steps have to be filled out on the designated forms.
   

• -FREE: Only one (1) of the compulsory elements can be judged with a -2 value and maximum five (5) elements with a -1 value by the majority of judges. The other elements must have at least a 0 value. The maximum of jump-elements, spins and steps have to be filled out on the designated forms.
   

• - The skater does NOT get an extra chance after the program to repeat missed or lesser executed elements.
   

• - If the skater does not succeed the short program, he will have the choice to skate his free program (free choice of the skater/trainer).
   

• - If a skater succeeds the short program and the free program is postponed, the skater only has to skate the free program when he participates in the same test again.
   

• - If a skater passed the short program, but not the free program, the short program is valid until the 30th of June of the next skating season.
