Here's the first one for the upcoming season ... ISU Communication 2769 - SINGLE & PAIR SKATING - Guidelines for marking +GOE of Single and Pair Skating Choreographic Elements in Free Skating (positive aspects) from 2026/27 (3 pages; March 18, 2026): https://isu-d8g8b4b7ece7aphs.a03.az...w-Choreo-Elements-2026-27-1773846983-8356.pdf
Excerpts:
These guidelines are tools to be used together with the minus GOE charts. The final GOE of a performed element is based on the combination of both positive and negative aspects. It is important that the final GOE of an element reflects the positive aspects, as well as any possible reductions that may apply. The final GOE of an element is calculated considering first the positive aspects of the element that result in a starting GOE for the evaluation. Following that a Judge reduces the GOE according to the guidelines of possible errors and the result is the final GOE of the element.
