SHOWCASE EVENTS

Except as otherwise specified in this announcement, showcase events will be conducted in accordance with the Non-Qualifying Showcase Competition Guidelines, as published by US Figure Skating and posted under the National Showcase Program category on the US Figure Skating website. Props are not required, but are allowed in accordance with the Non-Qualifying Showcase Competition Guidelines cited above, including restrictions on type, set-up, and removal. Ladies and men will compete against one another in showcase events. Showcase events of different levels may be combined at the discretion of the Referee. Jumps are not restricted because technical difficulty is not evaluated. However, unintended falls, poorly executed skating elements and obvious loss of control will be detrimental to the evaluation of the performance. Music may be instrumental or vocal. The costume restrictions of Rule 4030 do not necessarily apply, provided that the Non-qualifying Showcase Competition Guidelines cited above are fully adhered to. Showcase events will be judged in accordance with the Non-qualifying Showcase Competition Guidelines cited above. Each judge will award one mark to each skater for Program Components.

A. Basic Skills. See the Basic Skills Showcase Events requirements here. B. Dramatic Entertainment. See the Showcase Events - Dramatic Entertainment Events requirements here. C. Light Entertainment. See the Showcase Events – Light Entertainment Events requirements here. D. Interpretative. Interpretive Event requirements here. E. Duets (2-skaters). F. Mini Production Ensemble (3 to 7-skaters). G. Production Ensemble (more than 7-skaters). Duet, mini-production, and production ensemble events are team events where the team presents a choreographed program incorporating a theme or story set to music and with or without props/scenery. Program times are 1:40 maximum for duets, 3:10 maximum for mini-production ensemble, and 6:15 maximum for production ensemble. Theatre On Ice teams, as defined by Rule MR 5.07 are eligible to compete in the Production Ensemble category only. Props or scenery may be used as part of the program, subject to the following conditions. All props/scenery must be placed on, and removed from, the ice only by the skaters of the team within the time restrictions specified. All props/scenery used shall not exceed 6’-0” in height. The team will have 2-minutes from the time the team is announced to set-up any props/scenery and to get into starting position. Time not spent setting up props/scenery may be used for general warmup. A 30-second remaining in warmup announcement will be given to the team. After the 2- minutes has elapsed, the team’s performance will be announced and the event referee will begin program timing, although music will not begin until the team visibly signals that they are in position and ready for music. At the completion of the program, the team will have 2-minutes to remove all props/scenery from the ice surface, leaving the ice surface clear for the next team. Failure to adhere to the props/scenery rules regarding setup and removal will result in a 0.1 deduction taken from each mark by each judge for each infraction. Each judge will award two marks. The first mark will be for Performance technique, under the criteria of utilization of the ice and of space, organization of formations, quality of body positions and movements, rapport amongst team members, and overall technical skating ability of the team. The second mark will be for Artistry, under the criteria of originality and creativity of the performance as a

whole, clarity of the theme or story based on the actual presentation, unity of the choreography and its execution in the performance, and theatricality of the performance. The sum of the two marks will be the total mark for the team for each judge. If a judge awards the same total of marks to more than one team, the tie for that judge will be broken by assigning the higher ordinal(s) based on the higher marks for Artistry.

ADULT SKATING EVENTS All charts have been updated with changes from the U.S. Figure Skating Governing Council that will go into effect July 1, 2014. Please follow the links to the charts.
