Competition Format

Because events of the US Figure Skating and ISI have been merged into a hybrid format, please read through all event descriptions carefully and thoroughly. Every effort has been made to provide an equitable event structure that will allow skaters from all states, whether US Figure Skating, ISI, or nonaffiliated skater, to compete in a fairly defined method.

Solo events will be subdivided by age bracket as determined by the LOC (local organizing committee.) At the LOC discretion, any age bracket that has less then 5 competitors may be combined with another age bracket for competition. When only one competitor is entered in an event, that competitor be required to skate against the book. Eligibility for all age-restricted events is determined by the skater’s age as of June 21, 2008.

Skaters may not enter both a restricted and unrestricted event. Skaters may skate one level above that for which they are tested, but they may NOT skate down a level in any event. Skaters are NOT required to skate all events at the same level.

Adults 19 years and older will compete in separate events in all divisions. Synchronized teams will be separated according to the rules as specified.

Awards will be presented as closely to the conclusion of each event as possible. Medals will be awarded to the top three places in each event.
