Turning Jumps in Grades and Compulsories

Dear All,

Please see below a statement that I have been asked to distribute:

In all grades and compulsories turning jumps must fulfill the technical requirements of the jump with the turn completed exactly in order to receive DV. Once the jump is completed the exit is optional. 

Can all TC regional chairs also please send this out within their regions.

Many thanks,

Sport Programme Officer
