The competitive test track is
a new event for all non-qualifying competitions that
limits the difficulty of skating elements performed in
each level. The test track will line up the test structure
requirements with the competition levels, giving skaters a
fair playing field to continue competing and testing
according to their abilities. Skaters may choose to
participate in either the test track or free skating track
but not both during the same non-qualifying competition.
Competitors will skate to music of their choice.
Deductions WILL be made for skaters including elements not
permitted in the event description. Jump rotation counts
will be as set forth by the US Figure Skating Rule Book
List of Jumps and the current ISI Test Standards for Free
Skate. Beginner events are limited to the elements listed
and those from lower levels, except where specifically
stated. Male and Female skaters will compete in separate
events, no exceptions.
