General Information

Why is custom scoring setup necessary?

ISU regulations are observed at international, ISU organised events. However, these rules are often adapted by individual nations or skating bodies to suit their purposes.

Under BIS, each season, the Technical Advisory Committees for the various skating disciplines will agree on scoring parameters and elements for their discipline, which must then be entered into the digital scoring system prior to competitions.

With the more recent releases of FS Manager, it is possible to append these elements to the ISU standard elements in such a manner that they do not alter the checksum generated by the program when validating elements. This is discussed on the Custom Scoring Setups page.

ISU Checksum Values

To enable an easy method for judges to verify that all standard elements are present in the scoring system at time of competition, FS Manager generates a checksum based on the elements loaded into the system. These checksums are then published by the ISU for judges to verify against.
