*** All 2021 Skate Colorado Compete USA Competition Series awards will be presented at the conclusion of this competition *** 7 MISSION STATEMENT: To provide an opportunity for Colorado skaters to develop their skating skills in a fun, competitive environment.

AWARDS: During the competition season, skaters and teams/clubs will have the chance to compete at 10 different competitions and earn points for a final standing. Trophies and medals will be awarded at the conclusion of the Skate Colorado Compete USA competition at the 2021 Colorado Springs Invitational.

Skate Colorado Compete USA Series Team Banner (3x4) – 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place banners will be awarded to the club/skating school with the most points scored throughout the entire series (all 10 competitions) by skaters representing that club/skating school (points for clubs and skating schools located at the same rink will be added together to enhance and create more of a “team” concept). Points will be awarded based upon the same system as the individual points. Only the top 10 team members’ OVERALL scores FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON (including move up points) will count toward the team points for the determination of the team trophy. Tie breakers will be the same as the individual tie breakers.

Free Skate Program and Elements/Compulsory Series Point System

A skater must enter BOTH the Free skate Program AND the Elements/Compulsory event IN THE SAME LEVEL in each of at least TWO of the 10 registered Skate Colorado Compete USA Competitions to be eligible for accumulating points. Skaters must compete in a minimum of 2 competitions. Only up to the best 4 scores (free skate and compulsory/elements added together) of the season will be totaled for the final score in the series. Each event will have a maximum of six skaters. Both youth and adults may accumulate points! The system for scoring points for the trophies will be as follows: 1st place 6 points 2nd place 5 points 3rd place 4 points 4th place 3 points 5th place 2 points 6th place 1 point * A skater will earn three points toward their overall standing each time the skater enters a level that is higher than the level competed in at the previous competition throughout the duration of the series. In order to keep the extra three points he/she must compete in that level or higher in all subsequent competitions. Move up points will be awarded for all 10 series events (even though the event point scores may not be one of the final four best scores). In the event that there is only one skater in an event, the skater will have the choice to skate alone OR move up a level to compete against other skaters, HOWEVER, THE SKATER WILL HAVE TO MOVE UP IN BOTH THE ELEMENTS/COMPULSORY MOVES AND THE PROGRAMS W/MUSIC EVENTS. In this case, those skaters will be allowed to move back to their original level to compete at the next competition and shall not be awarded the 3 point move up credit. If an event has 2-6 skaters, the points will be awarded as if there were six skaters in the group. If there is only one skater in the group, that skater will be awarded three points. In case of a tie, the total number of skaters that the competitor has skated against throughout the series (all competitions and not just the competitions with the 4 best scores) will be the 1st tie breaker. The total score for all free skate events during the season will be the 2nd tie breaker, the total score for all compulsory events during the season will be the 3rd tie breaker, and the number of levels increased throughout the season will be the 4th tie breaker. All points follow the skater throughout the series, so if a skater moves up to higher levels, the points follow the skater. Once a skater moves up a level, they may not compete at a lower level unless they moved up as a result of having no other skaters in their group. Trophies will be awarded 1-3 in each level from Snowplow Sam through Free Skate 6 and Adult 1-6. The trophies will be awarded to the skaters at their level as of the last competition in which they compete.

8 COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT

The Skate Colorado Compete USA Series is sponsored equally by the 10 participating ice rinks and/or U.S. Figure Skating member clubs.

ELIGIBILITY RULES FOR PARTICIPANTS

The competition is open to ALL skaters who are currently eligible (ER 1.00) members of either the Learn to Skate USA Program and/or are full members of U.S. Figure Skating. To be eligible, skaters must have submitted a membership application or be a member in good standing.

It is very important to the success of the series that skaters are placed in the correct divisions. If, for whatever reason, the local organizing committee and/or their Chief Referee discover that a skater has been placed in a category that is below their class level, the chair and referee will have the option to move the skater to the proper division, even if this has to be done the day of the competition.
