How to use this

Start with a country, a beginner programme or an element. Open a level to read its collected requirements. Expand programme stages to see the exercises inside.

Try double Axel or three turn in the search box. Results show available definitions and matching evidence; not every question can be answered from the collection.

Compare programmes with similar purposes, then inspect their stages and requirements. Similar content does not mean the tests have the same difficulty or that one qualification transfers to another country.

Follow source links to check the original context. Where saved documents are available, you can read them here. Documents keep their dates; translations may be working translations rather than official wording.

This is a growing collection, not every requirement from every country. Missing results can mean missing or untranslated evidence, not that a skill is absent from a country’s programme. Read the coverage notes before drawing conclusions.

Coverage, updates and corrections

This is a growing reference, not a complete collection of every test. Material may be partial, historical or a working translation. No match does not mean a country does not teach an element.

Reference presentation updated . This is not a claim that every source was checked on that date. Individual documents retain their own dates and limitations.

6. Step Sequences ADDITIONAL PRINCIPLES OF CALLING Applicable to Step Sequences: 1. The first performed Step Sequence of a required group shall be identified as the required Step Sequence of that group and given a Level, or ignored if the requirements for Basic Level are not met. Subsequent Step Sequences of that group and Step Sequences of a group not according to the Required Elements for Rhythm Dance or Free Dance shall not be identified. In case there is an incorrect element performed as “not according to the requirements” (e.g. Circular Step Sequence instead of e.g. a required MiSt/DiSt) the element will be called, it will fill a box and will receive NO value but will NOT receive a deduction. E.g. CiSt* 2. If a Spin(s) (FD) and/or Edge Element(s) (RD and FD) that meets the requirement for Basic Level occurs within a Step Sequence (including ChSt) when not permitted, such Spin(s) or Edge Element(s) will be identified as an Extra Element(s) ExEl and receive a deduction, e.g. ChSt1+ExEl. 3. If a Fall or Interruption occurs at the entrance to or during a Step Sequence and the Element is immediately resumed, the Element shall be identified and given a Level according to the requirements met before and after the Fall or interruption, or ignored if the requirements for Basic Level are not met. 4. The percentage of steps for a Step Sequence is evaluated on the overall pattern completed per the prescribed shape, i.e. straight-line, circle, serpentine, diagonal etc.. 5. Difficult turns inside of a retrogression will only be considered for level if the retrogression is permitted.
