Do time violations, costumes and interruptions also cost points?

Yes. Skate Canada's rules set these deductions at Junior and Senior level:

• Program time violation: 1.00 for every five seconds the program is short or over time, applied by the referee.
• Part of the costume or decoration falls on the ice: 1.00 per program, applied by the referee.
• Costume or prop violation: 1.00, applied by a majority of the judges plus the referee.
• Illegal element: 2.00 per violation, applied by the technical panel.
• Interruption of up to 40 seconds: 1.00 for 11-20 seconds, 2.00 for 21-30 seconds, 3.00 for 31-40 seconds, applied by the referee.
• Three-minute interruption allowance: 5.00.
• Late start: 1.00 for 1-30 seconds late. A skater 31 or more seconds late is withdrawn.

If a program is interrupted for a reason not related to the skater, such as music problems, lights or a fire alarm, the ISU referee handbook says this should not affect the Program Components score.
