You want to put your elements in the order in which they will be skated.

Solo jumps: A solo jump is any jump done by itself (so not in combination or sequence). When entering a solo jump, be sure to include the type of jump and the rotation. You are encourage to use the official IJS Codes (See the attached IJS Code), but don't make up your own codes.

Table 1: Jump Codes
 

Jump combinations and sequences: According to the rules a jump combination can be made up of two jumps (2-Jump Combination) or three jumps (3-Jump Combination). Combinations use the same codes as solo jumps, but the jumps are combined with a '+' sign. For example, if the combination is a triple toe-double toe, you would enter '3T+2T'. For a double loop-double loop-double toe combination, you would enter '2Lo+2Lo+2T'. A sequence would be entered in the same manner, except that SEQ would be added at the end. So a double Axel-double Axel sequence would be entered '2A+2A+SEQ'. For sequences, you only need to enter the main jumps that get points (the ones in the table). Please don't enter the other steps, and/or hops that make it a sequence.

Solo spins: A solo spin is a spin that doesn't change position, but it can change feet.  You have four choices - sit spin, camel spin, layback spin or upright spin. Like the six jumps, these four spins each have a code. The codes are the same regardless of whether you are doing a forward spin or a backward spin. See table 2 for the spin codes.

If you are flying into the spin, you will include that in your program content form as well by adding the word 'fly' or the letter 'F' in front of the basic position of the spin.

If you are changing feet during the spin, but you aren't changing position, this is still considered a solo spin. For this type of spin, again you would indicate the basic position, and then precede the code by a 'C', or write 'with change of foot' following the basic position (again, see table 2 below). So for a camel change camel spin you would enter 'camel spin with change of foot' or 'CCSp'.

Table 2: Spin Codes
 

Spin combinations: A spin combination is any spin where you change position. You do not have to change feet in a spin for it to be considered a spin combination, so that means you can have a spin combination with change of position and no change of foot (CoSp) or a spin combination with change of position and change of foot (CCoSp). Spin combinations are the only spins where you don't need to write the positions. So don't waste time writing 'camel, sit, layback/back camel, back sit' when all you need to write is 'CCoSp' (the extra 'C' because it changed feet). If your spin combination is a forward camel into a layback, and you don't change feet, that would be a situation where you would enter 'CoSp'. If you begin your spin combination with a flying entry, you would add an 'F' to the beginning of the code, so depending on whether the spin combination also changes feet, you would enter 'FCoSp' or 'FCCoSp'. Also, the code is the same regardless of whether the spin begins with a forward spin or a backward spin.

Step sequences: Step sequences are denoted by an 'St'. Step sequences can easily get confused with transitions when watching a program for the first time, and you don't want the technical panel to miss any steps in your sequence because they all count, so make sure you write down what the pattern will be (straight line, circular or serpentine). See table 3 for the correct codes. A diagonal step sequence would be considered a straight line step sequence (SlSt), while a sequence you consider to be an oval would be called a circular step sequence (CiSt).

Spirals: For the choreographed spirals, all you need to write is 'spirals' or the code 'ChSp'. You do not need to write the pattern, number of positions, edges, whether they are forward or backward, or any other details.
