EVENTS

Uncaptured Moves – For many years, there have been uncaptured move limitations (based on the skater’s test level) for most ISI events.

The uncaptured moves limitations for gliding maneuvers, jumps, and spins have been removed for the following events: Artistic, Couples, Couples Spotlight, Freestyle, Interpretive, Open Freestyle, Open Pair, Pair, Rhythmic, Solo Spotlight, Themed Spotlight, Freestyle Synchro, and Team Compulsories. There are no uncaptured maneuvers allowed in Solo Compulsory and Jump & Spin events. Only the selected maneuvers can be performed along with 3-turns, mohawks, crossovers, and arm movements.
