A jump missing half a revolution or more is downgraded.

Landings are reviewed in super slow motion; take-offs for edges in slow; falls and take-offs for cheats in regular speed.

A clean jump misses nothing, q a quarter, < more than a quarter, << half a turn or more.

Using the whole blade instead of the toe pick is a poor take-off, cutting the grade of execution.

Non-listed jumps such as the Walley, the split jump or an inside Axel do not count as jump elements.

A clear preparation and leaving the ice, with or without a turn, is an attempt: it has no value and blocks a box.

With ! the base value is not reduced; with e it is. Both are reflected in the judges' grades.
