Cut It Out
How many points do you lose if your music has any issues and you have to stop to go over to the ref?
None! Zero!
A traveling turn on one foot with one or more rotations which is quickly rotated with a continuous, uninterrupted action. The weight remains on the skating foot with the free foot in any position during the turn then placed beside the skating foot to skate the next step
Twizzle
You are standing in your starting position, ready to start your program, when you hear the first note of the music and realize this isn't your music. What do you do?
Go to the ref
An edge jump with natural rotation that takes off from a forward outside edge
Waltz jump/Axel (Axel type jump)
What are the 3 program components for Pre-Novice and higher?
After your name is announced at a competition, how much time do you have to get to your starting position before you are sure to get a deduction?

A one-foot movement where the skater skates an oval pattern using the same edge. The entry and exit must cross.
Loop (turn)
You are competing and your lace breaks. After going to the referee and asking for your 3 minutes, you still can't get your skate to feel good enough/safe enough to finish the rest of your program. What happens now?
You are withdrawn from the event :(

How the program is designed in relation to the music.
Composition
A Novice woman is finishing up the last spin of her free program when the music stops. The referee has the time 3:08 when the skater hits their ending position. How much of a deduction does this skater receive?
No deduction! A novice free program is now 3 minutes +/- 10 seconds. She would not receive any deduction for ending after her music stops, but will most likely receive minuses on the spin and lower program components because of this timing error.
A turn from one foot to the other in which the entry and exit curves are continuous and of equal depth. The change of foot is from an outside edge to an outside edge or from an inside edge to an inside edge.
C-Step
You start your program and fall on the first jump within the first 20 seconds of your program when suddenly you notice your music is cutting in and out. After going to the ref and getting the music issue resolved, they ask you where you'd like to start the music from. What do you respond?
From the beginning please!

Presentation
1.0
(0.5 for the fall and 0.5 for the costume/decoration falling on the ice)
A turn executed on one foot from an outside edge to an outside edge or an inside edge to an inside edge, with the exit curve on a different lobe from the entry curve. The skater turns in the direction opposite to the entry curve (i.e. in the direction of the exit curve).
Counter
The air is extra dry in the competition arena today and you notice during your spin that your nose is bleeding. You go talk to the referee, get medical attention and your nose has stopped bleeding (thanks to the kleenex shoved up there). It's been 2 minutes and 45 seconds since you stopped and skated to the ref, can you continue your program? If so, how many points are deducted?
No points deducted for a medical event that allows the program to be resumed within 3 minutes
