Ice Dance Reimagined
With the upcoming ISU Congress in Summer of 2024 and ice dance seemingly in an unending beta of rule changes, I figured I would float a few thoughts on the many changes that have been made over the past few years.
As I mentioned in my RD Rules post, the ISU has essentially made moves to return to the original dance (making the change from short -> rhythm dance even more pointless in the first place) choosing to dictate broader themes.
To me, what makes ice dance so unique amongst all the disciplines is the variety of elements and styles that each team is expected to have in their repertoire and the fact that even in a given SD/OD/RD theme, people have to go out of their way to have a unique take. The rules which have lowered difficulty--in the name of giving skaters more room to be creative--have in fact resulted in the opposite. More teams are doing the same difficult features, same footwork, same lifts, same transitions than ever before. Both drawing on old choreography and leading to homogeneity across the discipline.
I propose a scheme which is a compromise of the two conflicting motions in ice dance right now: 1) the “no pattern ever” give everyone freedom vibes and 2) the people who believe the pattern is king. Alternate having a patterned and original short dance, giving the discipline an opportunity to develop new patterns (the original intention of the pattern dance type step sequence) while also ensuring that teams are continuing to emphasize solid ice dance foundations like skating in hold.
Original Short Dance Layout
1PSt
2Pst
Non-touch midline step sequence (style A)
Twizzles
Lift
Patterned Short Dance Layout
Pattern 1
Pattern 2
Non-touch midline step sequence (style A)
Twizzles
Lift
What the ISU (and choreographers/coaches) have fundamentally misunderstood about the appeal of patterns is that EVERY step is intentional and meant to elicit a specific effect and contribute to an overall impression. There's a reason that even though the Yankee Polka and Finnstep and Tango Romantica all include a LFI Closed S-Step, they have completely different timing and contribute to very different impressions. And it is because the general footwork in the pattern, in addition to just the difficult steps and turns, is geared towards reflecting the unique character of that pattern. I cannot count the number of pattern step sequences since 2017 that have effectively been copy pasted across blues, Latin, foxtrot/quickstep, blues x2, and Latin x2 once again programs with only minor changes to mini-lifts. They lack intention, they are the slowest section of the program for a good 90% of RDs because every team--no matter the style--is attempting to make their turns as drawn out as possible to get credit.
I propose that in original dance years there are 2 PSt segments, each with 3 KPs with the former 4th KP serving as a choreographic benchmark. This would allow for direct comparison of teams doing the same steps (and not allow teams to do the exact same difficult turns 5 years in a row) while simultaneously incentivizing creativity.
For example, under “Jig” below there are the following guidelines:
Jig is characterized by (1) high tempo, (2) rapid toe and heel steps, (3) jumps, kicks, hops and other accents including slides and shuffles, (4) tight and rigid torso, emphasis on leg movements over arm movements, (5) music in 12/8, 6/8, 9/8, 2/4. Teams are expected to pick music and a type of jig dance which fits these characteristics. 1PSt must start at center ice, 2PSt must end at center ice.
An example of key points:
1KP1: A) LFI Counter, LBI Bracket B) LBI Counter, LFI Bracket in any variant of closed hold except basic hand-in-hand
1KP2: both skip, LBO C-Step, RFI Swing S-step. in killian or foxtrot variant.
1KP3: A) RBO 1.5Tw, any kicking/tucking motion, RFI Bracket, RBO Bracket. B) LFO 1.5Tw, any kicking/tucking motion matching/mirroring/corresponding to partner A, LBI Bracket, LFO Bracket. Partners must be touching once exited from twizzles.
1PSt being completely prescriptive in KPs and 2PSt being slightly more flexible:
2KP1: both beginning any bracket, immediate counter, 1-5 intermediate steps where at least one partner must hit at least one difficult skating position* for at least a 1/2 beat, skid exit.
2KP2: both beginning swing FO C-Step, 3-8 intermediate steps/turns with partners MIRRORING each other, ending BO Counter. Partners must be touching entire time
2KP3: both beginning double S-step, 1-4 intermediate steps, ending with one partner on a BO edge and picking into the ice and the other partner doing at least one revolution around. PSt, officially concluded when the stationary partner resumes motion. Partners much be touching at two points until the first revolution around in 2KP3 is concluded.
Skaters would receive credit for the KPs accomplished in both and would receive a fourth Y/N based on whether they met choreographic requirements outlined in italics above.
*difficult skating position: any position where the skating leg is bent at least 90 degrees (shoot the duck, hydroblade, any lunge, any crouch), besti squat, spread eagle, ina bauer, spiral, layback, etc.
Now for some theme ideas:
2024-2025 - Patterned Short Dance - Grand Ballroom with a pattern of Golden Waltz
Teams must skate a program which reflects the character of the waltz particularly with regards to (1) lilting knee action, (2) closed position in hold, (3) repeated rotation as a unit when progressing across the ice, (4) movements should appear long, extended, and with sweeping open posture, (5) tone and musical themes may vary as long as a waltz character is maintained.
2025-2026 - Original Short Dance - Jig
Jig originated in Ireland and Scotland, gradually progressing throughout the British Isles and mainland Europe and then throughout the world including in the Metis people of Canada and Louisiana. Straight and sand jigs were developed in the US by African Americans in the 19th century which eventually influence the creation of jazz and tap. Jig is characterized by (1) high tempo, (2) rapid toe and heel steps, (3) jumps, kicks, hops and other accents including slides and shuffles, (4) tight and rigid torso, emphasis on leg movements over arm movements, (5) music in 12/8, 6/8, 9/8, 2/4. Teams are expected to pick music and a type of jig dance which fits these characteristics.
2026-2027 - Pattern Short Dance - Percussive Dances with a pattern of Paso Doble
(1) Stomping, toe picking, clapping, other percussive elements involving hitting the legs or torso, (2) dance is primarily danced to the RHYTHM and TEMPO not the melody, if there is a section without audible rhythm the team should create that beat using percussive elements (3) music must include a beat throughout, a melody is not necessary, (4) a theme should remain consistent throughout, if movements are drawn from a traditional dance they should reflect the character of the music chosen and the pattern should be interpreted appropriately.
2027-2028 - Original Short Dance - Music and Rhythms of the 1970s
The 1970s were one of the most influential eras of music, giving birth to entire new genres and styles and furthering the popularity of funk, soul, R&B, jazz, glam rock, folk rock, pop, disco, reggae, electronic music, and the birth of hip hop, it was defined by experimental sounds due to new music equipment.
(1) Music choices and rhythms should be COHERENT and related, the two music choices should be related thematically, structurally, or stylistically beyond more than just being from the 1970s, (2) one piece of music should be high tempo (>120bpm) and one piece should be low tempo (<100bpm), a third piece can be skated to any tempo, (3) the holds, movements, and steps in the PSt should reflect the style of music and dance chosen
2028-2029 - Pattern Short Dance - Jazz and Tap with a pattern of Quickstep
Jazz dance is a particularly broad genre that includes original social dances like the Charleston developed in parallel to the birth of jazz in Harlem, as well as more modernized styling.
Skaters should take inspiration from dancers like Bill Robinson, Jack Cole, Fred Astaire, Gus Giordano, nd Bob Fosse, as well as Broadway stage choreography and tap dance.
(1) Music choices and rhythms should be COHERENT and related, the two music choices should be related thematically, structurally, or stylistically, (2) one piece of music should be high tempo (>120bpm) and one piece should be low tempo (<100bpm), a third piece can be skated to any tempo, (3) the Quickstep timing can be adjusted to fit the tempo of the music chosen and to reflect the character of the chosen choreography.
See: https://gotta-dance.com/brief-history-of-jazz-dance/
2029-2030 - Original Short Dance - Nuevo Latin
The ISU has done a whole lot of cha cha, rhumba, and samba, but those are FAR from the only Latin rhythms. Dancers will be challenged to develop a new pattern that isn’t already an ISU pattern (and one that hasn’t been done a million times).
Examples of other rhythms: bachata, cumbia, danzon, salsa, mambo, merengue, bomba, lena, perreo, etc.
(1) The entirety of the PSt should be done in the same style and tempo but can differ from the the rest of the program. (2) Dancers are only required to pick one rhythm style but 2-3 are permitted. (3) skaters must have two points of contact with each other the entirety of the PSt, (4) at least 6 changes of hold must take place during the PSt, this can be from the same to same hold as long as a step or turn takes place during the change, (5) 1PSt must begin at the end of the long axis, 2PSt must end at the same end.
Choreo deductions: obvious use of cha cha, rhumba, or samba music/choreo. Tango, paso doble, and flamenco also excluded.
2030-2031 - Pattern Short Dance - Folk Dances with a pattern of Polka
Folk and country dance is characterized by it's informal and reflection of the general populace intended for widespread social dance. As opposed to court and ballroom dances, it should not be characterized as refined, ritual, or for stage performance. Skaters are encouraged to choose a folk dance related to their background. (1) Polka is skated to a bpm of 120bpm +/-4 and can be skated to and interpreted in any kind of musical style, (2) the same folk dance theme should remain constant throughout the dance or if two dances are chosen they should be closely related (i.e. the non-touch midline step sequence done in the line dancing style and the polka in the square dance style) (3) skaters may have a non-touch portion of their 2PSt provided they remain within one arm-length of each other.
Examples of folk dances include: maypole, hora, tarantella, polka, square dance, clogging, Dutch crossing, oberek, mazurka, Morris , polska, ballu tundu, bhangra, circassian, dabke, garba, khigga, romvong, peacock dance, nongak, yangge, chacarera, zamba, malambo, marinera, akayida, kizomba, agbadza, baile folklorico, shota, rugovo, cumbia, landler, schuhplatter, sardana, dragon dance, lion dance, mapale, danza de la tijeras, jenkka etc.
2031-2032 - Original Short Dance - Swing and Social Dances
Despite the many years of jive, charleston, and jitterbug original dances, there is no swing (or related dance) pattern. Dancers are to pick a swing-adjacent dance style and create a pattern. Examples: charleston, lindy hop, jive, jitterbug, shag, boogie woogie.
(1) Dance style should generally be from the 1920s-1950s era, (2) skaters should include intricate changes of positions for each partner reflecting the highly athletic nature of swing dancing, (3) 1PSt should begin in front of the judges with a 1-2 second mini-lift and end in the same location, 1PSt and 2PSt should consist of similar patterns across the ice and each take one lap, (4) skaters should utilize hops, skips, assisted jumps, and up to 3 mini-lifts per PSt to reflect the character of their chosen dance.
Swing does NOT necessarily need to be up tempo if choosing a style such as West Coast Swing which is danced with a distinct lack of bounce.
And then with time in "pattern" years, new patterns will arise and be eligible for interpretation. Would love to hear people’s thoughts :)

Any thoughts on the possible rule changes for singles (though not voted on yet I think)? One jump combo removed, one spin replaced by a choreographic spin (whatever that means), and the same type of jump can't be repeated more than 3 times
Let's see if changes really happen and if they happen if they will be implemented before the next Olympics or I rather think afterwards...tbh I haven't kept up with the possible rule change. Yet ofc I have some thoughts about it.
I think removing a jump combo might be good if they keep the lenght of the program bc the last time they removed a jumping pass they shortened the time for the free program about 30 seconds. It would give the skater a bit more time for choreography. (Also actually it would help Shoma to remove a jump combo bc that's what causes the problems for his free programs 😁 not that I really think that Shoma will compete until this rule change is implemented, but just a thought that occured 😅)
Choreographic spins are great especially when they eliminate this illusion as difficult exit from spins bc that looks really ugly most of the time. A choreographic spin would lead to more creativity if done well. I hope ppl would actually make use of more creativity in spins.
I am not sure if this really makes sense to limit the jump type. Like that will only be relevant to ppl who can perform quads and triples of the same type or will hinder skaters of lower levels when they jump doubles and triples. For skaters like Shoma, Ilia or Yuma that would not change anything. How many skaters really jump more than 3 times the same type of jump unless they make it about edge jumps vs. toe jumps that would be more of a challenge but again would rather hinder skaters of lower levels.
I think once again these rule changes if they happen don't get to the real problems of the sport lately which is the heavy importance of jumps. I would rather want them to upgrade the BV of spins and steps to match at least the BV of triple jumps bc this is where some skaters excell but gain nothing from and others that don't excell in it but are super jumpers don't even really need to work on it to be competitive. Also make the PCS factors rise to match the TES to have more balance for the programs and maybe that way they would get back to more creativity and art. I was really surprised to learn lately that under the 6.0 system the artistry score was higher valued than the difficulty and I wonder why that was totally lost under the IJS system, because I think what the sport needs atm is more artistry to not make it a jump contest only. Also maybe especially in ladies we would not have 100 of similar programs to slow ballad music without any kind of concept if artistry would really be a higher factor in this sport. But maybe that's only me who finds especially the ladies a bit boring lately (with ofc some exceptions like Kaori, Young You, Rinka Watanabe or Loena Hendrickx)

February 2024 FAQ Updates - Vote On The Two New Rules!
As you all will have likely heard already, Prussia has just won his third tournament in a row on this blog, and the showrunner has decided it’s time to change the rules so he cannot participate in the next tournament.
The decision has been made to remove the current perk of giving the champion a free pass to the semifinals of the following tournament. Instead, they will be banned from the following tournament, so that they can no longer win consecutive tournaments. This will help keep perennial over-powered favourites (like Prussia) from winning all the time, and add some variety to the winners circle.
There are, however, two variables to the rule change that the showrunner is not decided on just yet:
Should first-time winners be allowed the single chance for back-to-back wins?
How long should each ban last?
As this is a polls blog, and the showrunner would appreciate the feedback, both rule changes are to be voted on by you!
Read below the cut to see the full descriptions of the two rule change options, and follow the links to vote on them! Once the polls are closed, the showrunner will merge the results and update the pinned FAQ post with the new rules. The revised FAQ post will go live on February 26th, and the Spring 2024 Tournament Summary will go live on February 28th.
The poll for the back-to-back wins rule change will run from February 18th 6:00 AM PST to February 25th 6:00 AM PST. The poll is closed, Options 2 & 3 tied, the showrunner chose Option 2 as the winner!
The poll for the ban length rule change will run from February 18th 6:00 PM PST to February 25th 6:00 PM PST. The poll is closed, Option 4 is the winner!
As the decision has already been made to ban Prussia from this tournament, the quarterfinals for the Spring 2024 can still start on March 1st with the 16 polls, regardless of the votes here.
Please note, while reviewing the two separate rule changes, the showrunner will find a way to make the two winning options coordinate properly. Also, in the case of either of these polls finishing in a tie, the showrunner will make the final choice between the tied options.
Back-To-Back Wins Only For First-Time Champions?
Option 1: Allow new champions to skip their first ban, and bypass quarterfinals of next tournament
Option 2: Allow new champions to skip their first ban, they will be in the quarterfinals of next tournament
Option 3: No byes or back-to-back wins, champion is always banned from the next tournament
As discussed above, the showrunner wants to change the rules to ban champions from the following tournament, instead of giving them the free pass to the semifinals. However, the showrunner is reluctant to completely switch from rewarding to punishing all champions, especially those who win for the first time ever after these changes.
As such, the showrunner is considering allowing one opportunity for back-to-back wins for any first-time champions that would bypass being banned from the next tournament. This way, they have a chance to earn more than just bragging rights.
Option 1 would be to keep the existing bye just for the new champions, where they are allowed to participate in the next tournament without serving a ban, and they will also get to skip the quarterfinals and go straight to the semifinals. Instead of depending on whether or not an incumbent champion will be participating, all tournaments will return to the permanent 16 quarterfinals and 4 semifinals. As such, the incumbent champion with the bye will be the 17th semifinalist, joining the 16 quarterfinal winners. They would serve their first ban after their 2nd win.
Example: If Lithuania wins the Spring 2024 Tournament as his first championship, he can participate immediately in the Summer 2024 tournament without serving a ban. He will also have the bye to skip the quarterfinals, and be the 17th semifinalist. He would serve bans after each subsequent tournament win.
Option 2 would be to modify the bye for new champions, where they are allowed to participate in the next tournament without serving a ban. However, there will be no bye to the semifinals, they start in the quarterfinals with everyone else. They would serve their first ban after their 2nd win.
Example: If Lithuania wins the Spring 2024 Tournament as his first championship, he can participate immediately in the Summer 2024 tournament without serving a ban. He will have to participate in the quarterfinals with everyone else, he will not get a bye to the semifinals as per the previous rules. He would serve bans after each subsequent tournament win.
Option 3 is to remove the bye system entirely, and to not allow any back-to-back wins. Every tournament’s champion is banned from the next tournament.
Example: If Lithuania wins the Spring 2024 Tournament, he is still banned from the Summer 2024 Tournament and will return for the Autumn 2024 Tournament. There is no perk for the first-time championship, aside from bragging rights.
How Long Should Bans Last?
Option 1: Single-tournament bans following first two wins, permanent ban after 3rd win
Option 2: Single-tournament bans following first four wins, permanent ban after 5th win
Option 3: Increase length of ban after each tournament won
Option 4: Single-tournament bans only
As discussed, Prussia is currently banned from the Spring 2024 tournament, because he has just won three tournaments in a row (Summer 2023, Autumn 2023 and Winter 2023-24). However, should he return as quickly as the Summer 2024 tournament, his winning streak could easily continue and just alternate between wins and bans.
Option 1 is to create a “RNG Hall of Fame” where any nation who earns three tournament wins will not be allowed to participate in any future tournaments. The champion would serve single-tournament bans after each of their first two wins, but then receive a permanent ban after their 3rd win.
Example: Prussia has just won three tournaments in a row, so this ban for the Spring 2024 would be the official start of his permanent ban.
Option 2 is the same as Option 1, only increasing the number of wins required for the “RNG Hall of Fame” from 3 wins to 5 wins.
Example: Prussia currently has three tournament wins in a row, and so will serve a single tournament ban for Spring 2024. After two more wins, he will join the “RNG Hall of Fame” and be permanently banned.
Option 3 would be to match the length of the ban to how many tournaments the nation has won, increasing by one for each win they earn.
Example: Since Prussia has 3 tournament championships, this Spring 2024 ban would be the first of 3 straight tournaments that Prussia would be banned for, and he’d return for the Winter 2024-25 tournament. Upon his 4th tournament win, Prussia’s next ban would be for 4 straight tournaments.
Option 4 is to max out the ban at one tournament at a time, and allow the champion to return the following tournament, regardless of how many tournaments they have won.
Example: Prussia’s current ban for the Spring 2024 would lift for the Summer 2024 Tournament, and each subsequent win will be followed by a single tournament ban.
Please note, for all four options, that the result of the other poll will determine whether a ban will be skipped after a champion’s first ever win.

um hey so could you do Ryder x Katie from paw patrol
Thank you for both of your Paw Patrol themed requests :)
I've had a few recent questions when it comes to children age 10 and lower - In these cases I feel I would rather draw the characters aged up than at their current age. If you can provide reference, a description, or would like me to figure out aged up versions of these characters, I would be happy to draw them.

It's too late
"Major League Baseball is adding the extra-inning baserunner to the game on a permanent basis. The rule — which places a runner on second base at the beginning of each half-inning if a game goes to extras — aims to shorten the game and preserve pitching arms."
Baseball lost me many years ago when batting gloves, step-outs, walk-up music, and specialist relievers took games to three hours long.
I used to be able to fire off the starting line-up of the 1957 Milwaukee Braves (I listened to their games every night with a tiny AM radio under my pillow. I was also a Cubs fan, but nothing like the Braves.
Now I couldn't even tell you the nicknames for half the teams.

Announcment
Hi, everyone.
In two weeks (July 9th, 2023) I will be changing the rules of my blog. After that day, I will no longer do role-play asks.
One thing I like about my blog is that there is a variety of content, from episodes to observations. However, due to the amount of role-play asks I've been getting recently, I feel as though that part of my blog is slowly going away. And while one option would be to increase the amount of original posts I do, I can get pretty busy sometimes, so that's not feasible, especially considering I get roughly 2 asks for roleplaying a day. If I were to make it sure half of my posts are non-roleplay posts, I would have to make four posts a day, answering two asks and doing two other posts.
The time it takes for the posts is also a reason I'm changing the rules of this blog. I set aside set amount of time each day for my blog, so if I have to use that time to answer asks, I have less time to make other content.
After July 9th, any role-play asks already sent will still be answered. However, no other role-play asks will be replied to.

Proposed Pickleball Rule Changes for 2024
Rule changes are part of the game. Circumstances arise and issues bring into focus some aspects of the game that could use a little polish. See what's coming for 2024.
Every Year, pickleball players are given an opportunity to submit suggestions for rule changes to the USA Pickleball Association. 2023 is no exception, 92 suggestions had been made by USAPA members back in May and the public was able to make comments on the proposed rule changes until May 31st, 2023.
The USA Pickleball Rules Committee met in June to review the proposed rule changes and viewed…

I'm not perfectly clear if the rules allow for Kohakiha or similar pairs.
Look, I’m going to be completely honest, the original purpose of this tournament was to look at official Type-Moon couples, but after much consideration on my part it’d be extremely close minded of me to keep it like that. So, here’s my new stance on the matter:
Normal ships will now be considered as couples and thus be allowed to enter this tournament as well, as long as it can be proven in canon (This essentially allows ships as the previously mentioned Kohaku x Akiha to be enlisted into the tournament. Of course, official couples will always have priority in this tournament, but if I believe that the argument for a pairing is strong enough then they’ll be included as well. I only ask that the pairing have some actual backing to it from the story itself for it to qualify in this tournament, this unfortunately means that crack shipping is off the table for this tournament since the characters need at least some chemistry with each other)
With this, Rule 4 has changed.
#ask#anonymous#anon ask#tournament preparation#rule changes#remember that if you don’t know something then just ask#who knows? someone might share the same question as you#maybe your question could cause a rule change too? you just need to ask if you have questions#akiha tohno#kohaku

I think soccer should add a rule where if you're able to score a goal from your side of the field you should get two points. I don't think you could actually score from there, but I think it would be very funny to watch them try. Also if you do manage to score from there, you deserve the extra point.

“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more
#seriously how many weird rules do we all uphold#SO MANY#and they are all so jesus flavored and weird a lot of the time#like: okay where does the idea that someone is an unredeemable sinner come from#or that people cannot change#where does the carceral state spring from#why do we believe punishing sinners makes them good people#why do we think we have to set the table a certain way#why do we think violence belongs to power and dutiful service to those without power
