Regarding solo dance edge element codes

In solo dance, the grade of execution for Edge Elements is calculated in a similar manner to lifts in couples dance, where combinations have the GOE summed based on the base value of each component move (see below for example). To achieve this effect with custom element codes, such as those needed to implement the edge element suite, Li must be appended to the ISU prescribed element code in order for the ISU scoring software to sum the GOEs as required. Therefore, when reading the SOV for solo dance, disregard any occurrence of Li.

This does not, in any way, reflect the element being performed differently, and is solely to ensure correct calculation of the GOE by the ISU judging software.

Without Li

SpEe1+SeEe1 @ GOE +1 = 6.40+0.48 = 6.88

With Li

SpEeLi1+SeEeLi1 @ GOE +1 = 6.40+0.96 = 7.36
