judge question?

One of our Jrs. is working a double CCW Loop rock over to BI edge CW double Sal. Is that OK for a combo or does it get nocked down to a sequence because of the change of edge?
TIA Lyle

I believe for combinations, the second jump must take off from the same landing edge of the first jump. A BO edge and BI edge are considered different edges. It's a sequence.

Yep. Change of edge means it's not a combination; it's a sequence. And that means she only gets 80% of the point value of the two jumps under IJS. And unfortunately, there is no extra base point value for doing jumps in both directions (although I think there should be!).
