A maximum of seven (7) jump elements, one of which must be an Axel type jump. Single, double and triple jumps are permitted. Any jump can be repeated only once and this repetition must be done either in a jump combination or in a jump sequence. A jump combination may consist of the same or another single, double or triple jump. There may be up to three jump combinations or jump sequences in the Free Program. One jump combination may consist of up to three (3) listed jumps, the other two may consist of up to two (2) listed jumps. A jump sequence may consist of any number of jumps of any number of revolutions that may be linked by non-listed jumps like mazurkas, etc. and/or hops immediately following each other while maintaining the jump rhythm (knee); there can be no steps/ turns, crossovers or stroking during the sequence. However, only the two jumps with the highest value will contribute to the technical score. Please note that a half-loop in combination or in a sequence with any other listed jump will be called as a listed jump (1Lo). Non-listed jumps may be included in the program as part of connecting footwork.
A maximum of three (3) spins of a different abbreviation, one of which must be a spin combination with a change of foot and one must be a flying spin. The spins must have a required minimum number of revolutions: five (5) for the flying spin with no change of foot after landing, five (5) for the spin with only one position and no change of foot, five (5) for the spin combination with no change of foot, and eight (4 + 4) for the spin combination with change of foot or spin in one position with a change of foot. There must be a minimum of two (2) revolutions in each position or the position will not be counted.
A maximum of one step sequence (StSq) fully utilizing the ice surface. The pattern is not restricted. Only the first executed attempt of a step sequence will contribute to the technical score. Additional choreographic sequences and step sequences will not be counted in the technical score but will be counted as moves-in-the field (transitions) and marked as such.
VOCAL MUSIC MAY BE USED.
Duration The maximum time is 3 min. +/-10 sec., but may be less.
Factor The panel’s points for each Program Component are multiplied by a factor of 1.6.

Please note that a half-loop in combination or in a sequence with any other listed jump will be called as a listed jump (1Lo). Non-listed jumps may be included in the program as part of connecting footwork, preceding single or double jumps.
A maximum of three (3) spins of a different abbreviation, one of which must be a spin combination with a change of foot and one must be a flying spin. The spins must have a required minimum number of revolutions: four (4) for the flying spin with no change of foot after landing, four (4) for the spin with only one position and no change of foot, four (4) for the spin combination with no change of foot, and eight (4 + 4) for the spin combination with change of foot or spin in one position with a change of foot. There must be a minimum of two (2) revolutions in each position or the position will not be counted.
A maximum of one Choreographic Sequence (ChSq), covering the full ice surface. A Choreographic Sequence consists of any kind of movements like steps, turns, spirals, arabesques, spread eagles, Ina Bauers, hydroblading, transitional (unlisted) jumps, spinning movements etc. The Choreographic Sequence commences with the first move and is concluded with the last move of the skater. The pattern is not restricted. A Choreographic Sequence has a base value and will be evaluated by the judges in GOE only. Only the first executed attempt of a step sequence or choreographic sequence will contribute to the technical score. Additional choreographic sequences and step sequences will not be counted in the technical score but will be counted as moves-in-the field (transitions) and marked as such.
