• Creative Figure/Free Figure events – Tere is a maximum time limit of 1:30 minutes for all levels.


• Team Compulsory maneuvers – When choreographing a Team Compulsory routine, make sure each skater performing their required maneuver is highlighted (somewhat away from other team members) so the skater and that maneuver can be more easily seen by the judges.


Judging Revisions & Clarifications


a. Solo Compulsory events judging criteria – Te current “General Overall” criteria will be changed to “Penalty” on the Judge 1 (Referee) sheet only. Any penalty score of 2.0 for attempting illegal maneuvers will only be assessed by Judge 1 (Referee). If no penalty is given, each skater will receive 7.0 for this criteria – or 8.0 if the skater is “against the book”.


b. Solo Compulsory events – Only the first attempt at each maneuver will be scored. Any additional attempt will not be judged and there is no penalty given.


All 3 judges will give a score of “0” if the required maneuver is not attempted or if the wrong maneuver is performed.


c. Dance and Synchronized Team events – Judges can include current Associate Judges.
