Consistent with the 2011 WBTF rule changes to include drop penalties for the Freestyle, Pair and Team events, that the CBTF adopted at its 2011 Fall Board Meeting, CBTF Competition Directors shall now include a deduction for drop penalties in those events.
At Provincial Team Trial and Canadian Team Trial events, the standard WBTF Tabulation Method shall be used.
At the Canadian Winner/Championships, the standard WBTF Tabulation Method shall be used.
At Open competitions, Competition Directors may elect to offer these events using one of the following methods:
- For critique
- The standard WBTF Tabulation Method
- A CBTF Open Tabulation Method
Critique
In this case, no score or tabulation is performed. As part of the critique, the judge may offer a scoring range from the WBTF Scale, or an Overall Degree of Excellence score that would have been awarded.
WBTF Tabulation Method
Tabulation may be performed manually or using the approved WBTF Tabulation Programs.
If multiple judges are used to count penalties, the average number of drops recorded shall be used.
Individual Freestyle
The Individual Freestyle score is calculated by combining a derived score from Compulsories/Short Program (25%) with a derived score from Freestyle (75%) reduced by the Drop Penalty.
The penalty for each drop is 0.75 per drop.
In this method, the Drop Penalty is deducted from the Freestyle Percentage Score (the 75% score).
If multiple judges are scoring, the same Drop Penalty is deducted from each judges Freestyle Percentage Score.
Pair
The penalty for each drop is 1.00 per drop.
In this method, the Drop Penalty is deducted from the Gross Pair Score (the judges score out of 100).
If multiple judges are scoring, the same Drop Penalty is deducted from each judges Gross Pair Score.
Team
The penalty for each drop is 1.00 per drop.
In this method, the Drop Penalty is deducted from the Gross Team Score (the judges score out of 100).
If multiple judges are scoring, the same Drop Penalty is deducted from each judges Gross Team Score.
CBTF Open Tabulation Method
If multiple judges are used to count penalties, the average number of drops recorded shall be used.
Individual Freestyle
The Individual Freestyle score is calculated by combining the Technical Merit (TM) and Artistic Expression (AE) scores, for a maximum possible score of 20 (the Judges Freestyle Score) reduced by the Freestyle Drop Penalty.
The penalty for each drop is 0.20 per drop.
In this method, the Drop Penalty is deducted from the combined TM+AE score (Judges Freestyle Score).
If multiple judges are scoring, the same Drop Penalty is deducted from each judges Freestyle Score (combined TM+AE).
Pair
The penalty for each drop is 1.00 per drop.
In this method, the Drop Penalty is deducted from the Gross Pair Score (the judges score out of 100).
If multiple judges are scoring, the same Drop Penalty is deducted from each judges Gross Pair Score.
Team
The penalty for each drop is 1.00 per drop.
In this method, the Drop Penalty is deducted from the Gross Pair Score (the judges score out of 100).
If multiple judges are scoring, the same Drop Penalty is deducted from each judges Gross Team Score.
