| When
reviewing the required elements of a free skating test, the judges
determine that one element was missing or not performed as required.
What options are open to the judges? |
If the technical and presentation quality of the program exceeds the standard for passing, the judges have the option to take a deduction for the missed or a poorly performed element and pass the test without requesting a reskate. This decision is reflected by an adjustment of lowering the technical mark. The total score must equal or exceed the minimum score to pass the test. Once a reskate has been requested, the element must be performed at a passing level or the test fails.
