Yay, the first steps have been taken by ISU to curtail the Biellmann:
"Remark: Bielmann [sic] positions count as a feature that can increase the Level only in one spin in the Short Program and in two spins in Free Skating. While doing that, the first spin(s) is (are) taken into account."
For spins, here's the rule for levels:
"Number of features for Levels: 2 for Level 2, 3 for Level 3, 4 for Level 4"
Interestingly, for the spin combo with change of foot (CCoSp), they've clarified the rule for getting credit for the change of edge:
4) On both edges in one position (on both feet counts twice)
(I guess some skaters had been getting credit for the COE by stepping/landing directly onto the inside edge for the back spin or outside edge for the forward spin without switchgin from the alternate edge?)
