I don't know about the loop, but perhaps they counted the split jump into flip-loop as the sequence?

I was thinking about that, too. (But that still would not technically be a sequence, just a jump combo with a special entrance.)

Thank you for the support, you guys!!!

Ooops. Sorry. I did the loop on the end of my footwork sequence.

The rulebook does say that the jump sequence can be 1/2 or 1 full rotation jumps. My judges counted it without any question.

Thanks!

I let my nerves get to me a little. I screwed up my footwork a bit, but fortunately it is not specifically a required element.

Congratulations!!
I think this is the kind of thing where you need to ask your local judges what they would consider as fulfilling the requirement, because I am pretty sure the judges at my club would not have counted it as a sequence and would have asked for a re-skate of that element.

According to the ISU and USFSA technical definitions, a sequence is different from a 3-jump combination in that it has unlisted jumps and/or steps between two or more listed jumps. Here is the exact wording:

A jump sequence may consist of any number of jumps of any number of revolutions linked by steps (not more than 2 steps and no crossovers), hops, mazurkas and nonlisted jumps immediately following each other, while maintaining the jumping rhythm (knee). There can be no more than one (1) revolution on the ice between any hop, mazurka, non-listed jump or jump. There can be no crossovers or stroking during the sequence. A jump sequence, consisting of only one listed jump together with other non-listed jumps is not considered a jump-sequence but will count as a solo jump.
