When does the second half bonus begin?
The base value of jump elements is multiplied by 1.1 in the second half of the programme. The second half is not the second half of the skater’s programme, but the second half of the (base) time published in the rules. The second half starts at the second after the first half. For example, if the time allowed for the programme is 2 minutes (+/- 10 seconds), then the second half starts at 1:01 (1 minute and 1 second into the programme). Note that the bonus is only for jump elements — there is no bonus for spins, spirals, or footwork sequences performed in the second half.
