Scale of Values

Defining values

The values for all elements are defined by the scale of values for the discipline, and this scale is represented within FS Manager as an XML file. Each release of FS Manager is shipped with an up-to-date version of the ISU scale of values.

Custom elements

Federated nations often define custom elements for lower level or otherwise non-ISU competitions. These can be loaded into FS Manager non-destructively by creating an XML file like the one below. Loading elements by the following process will prevent changes to the verification checksums discussed on the General Information page:

  1. Load the stock elements XML into FS Manager. This is found in the MasterData folder of the FS Manager install (default: C:\SwissTiming\OVR\FSManager\MasterData)
  2. Load the custom elements XML into FS Manager by the same method. Once loaded, this should produce a popup showing how many new elements have been added and how many have been modified. Any modifications will affect the element list checksum, while additions do not.
Custom element annotated example
<!-- This element version is ignored for custom elements -->
<ISUCalcFS elm_version="2425.4">
    <!-- Custom elements must be enclosed within a Custom_Element_List node, or they will delete the standard elements from the database -->
    <Custom_Element_List>
        <!-- ELM_ID must be unique -->
        <!-- ELM_NAME defines the long name printed in FS Manager -->
        <!-- ELM_SNAME defines the element code that is used to assign a value to the element -->
        <!-- ELM_SNAMWL defines the element name without a level, applicable to elements like spins (i.e., if ELM_SNAME was SSp4, ELM_SNAMWL would be SSp) -->
        <!-- ELM Group defines the category types which the element can be performed in -->
        <!-- ELM_SORT is an ID that is used to sort the elements in the SOV printout. It should be unique for clarity -->
        <!-- ELM_CALCGR determines the grouping for pattern dances -->
        <!-- ELM_VAL4 determines the element's calculation base value -->
        <!-- ELM_CALCBV determines the calculation base value for GOE calculations (e.g., for Solo Dance edge elements where GOE bonuses are the same for levels 1-4) -->
        <!-- ELM_TYPE determines the element type within FS Manager, though this does not seem to affect the way the element behaves when used in competition -->
        <Element ELM_ID="4000" ELM_NAME="Single Axel (Half Bonus)" ELM_SNAME="1Ah" ELM_SNAMWL="1Ah" ELM_SORT="BISF001" ELM_GROUP="S" ELM_CALCGR=" " ELM_VAL4="1.6" ELM_CALCBV="1.1" ELM_TYPE="Jump"/>
