Compulsories

Skaters will perform specific maneuvers as indicated in the requirements below. Compulsories are skated in a routine without music on either a ½ sheet of ice or full sheet of ice. Moves may be done in any order, but each listed move must be attempted. Each move may only be attempted once. Deductions will be made for added, repeated, or omitted elements. Connecting footwork and choreography are encouraged, but excessive footwork and added elements will be penalized. Tots thru Pre-Juvenile will be held on a half ice. Juvenile thru Senior will be held on a full sheet of ice. Skaters will be subdivided by age. Adults will skate in their own group. Male and female skaters will compete separately. No exceptions.

Note 1 – The second jump of a jump combination must be made from the landing edge of the first jump. No turn or change of foot between jumps is permitted.

Note 2 – The Balance move sequence must include a forward and a backward spiral. Additional spirals and balance moves such as spread eagles, Ina Bauers, shoot the ducks, etc. may be included. Skaters have the choice of a straight-line, circular, or serpentine pattern. (See USFS SSR 3.00 for detailed description.)
