Fiesta Skate 2016 Hosted by Skating Club of Phoenix April 15 – 17, 2016

The Skating Club of Phoenix is pleased to announce our 39th Annual Phoenix Fiesta Skate Competition. Fiesta Skate 2016 will be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of U.S. Figure Skating, as set forth in the current rulebook, as well as any pertinent updates which have been posted on the U.S. Figure Skating website.

This competition is open to all eligible, restricted, reinstated or readmitted persons as defined by the Eligibility Rules, and is a currently registered member of a U.S. Figure Skating member club, a collegiate club or an individual member in accordance with the current rulebook. Please refer to the current rulebook for non-U.S. Citizens.

SERIES INFORMATION: This competition has been approved by U.S. Figure Skating as part of the National Solo Dance Series.

This competition is a qualifying event for National Showcase 2016.

TEST SESSION: A Test Session will be offered during the competition dates. Please go online to www.skatingclubofphoenix.com to obtain a test form application to submit by mail. The Guest Skater Fee, if applicable, will be waived for testers who are also Fiesta Skate competitors.

ELIGIBILITY/TEST LEVEL:

Test level: Competition level is the highest test passed as of the entry deadline in the discipline the skater is entering. Entrants may skate one level above that for which they qualify, but they may not skate down in any event. Skaters who placed in the top four in a final round of their last qualifying competition in their divisions must move up one level, except for novice and higher.

Age restrictions/requirements: Skaters entering juvenile free skate events (Well Balanced Program) must be under 14 years of age at the close of entries. Skaters entering open juvenile free skate events (Well Balanced Program), must be at least 14 years of age at the close of entries. 2

This event is a standard U.S. Figure Skating Non-qualifying Competition

Skaters entering beginner–pre-juvenile events will be divided as closely as possible by age should the number of entries warrant more than one group.

It is very important to the success of the competition that skaters are placed in the correct level. If, for whatever reason, the Local Organizing Committee discovers that a skater has been placed in a category that is below their test level, the chairpersons and referee will have the option to move the skater into the proper level, even if this has to be done the day of the competition.

Age restrictions/requirements (continued): 1. Skaters will skate at the highest Basic Skills or USFS Free Skate test level passed, as of close of entries date. 2. Snowplow Sam and Basic Skills 1-8 skaters may not have passed any USFS tests, including MIF or individual dances. 3. Freeskate 1-6 and No Test skaters may not have passed any USFS free skate tests. 4. Skaters may not skate the same or different events at different levels except as noted.

Skaters will not be permitted to compete until all fees have been paid.  Late entries may be accepted at the sole discretion of the Referee and competition committee and will be subject to a $25.00 fee.  Two entries constitute an event.

SHOWCASE EVENTS

EVENT: Basic Skills Showcase Events

Format: Showcase groups will be divided by number of entries and ages if possible. Vocal music is permitted and 6.0 judging will be used. Deductions will be made for skaters including technical elements not permitted in the event description. Basic Skills Showcase events are open to skaters in Basic, Free Skate, Limited Beginner through Preliminary and Adult Bronze.

Showcase categories may include:  Dramatic entertainment: Showcase program utilizing intense emotional skating quality to depict choreographic theme.  Light entertainment: Showcase program emphasizing such choreographic expressive qualities such as comedy, love and mime while incorporating skating skills.  Duets: Theatrical/artistic performances by any competitors.  Mini production ensembles): Theatrical performances by three to seven competitors.  Production ensembles: Theatrical performances by eight to 30 skaters. NOTE: Skaters may enter only one each duet, mini production or production event.

General event parameters: Show costumes are permitted, as long as they do not touch or drag on the ice. Props and scenery must be placed and removed by unaided singles and duet competitors within one minute and by unaided ensemble contestants within two minutes for setup and two minutes for removal. A 0.2 deduction will be assessed by the referee against each judges’ mark for each five seconds in excess of the time allowed for the performance, for handling props and scenery and for scenery assistance.

Performances will be judged from an entertainment standpoint for theatrical and artistic qualities. Technical skating skills and difficulty will not be rewarded; however, skating must be the major element of the performance and be of sufficient quality to support the selected theatrical elements. Unintended falls, poorly executed skating elements and obvious losses of control will reduce contestant’s marks. Jump difficulty is not rewarded in showcase; therefore jumps, if choreographed, should be performed with style, flow and confidence. Theatrical elements evaluated will include energy, poise, acting, pantomime, eye contact, choreography, form/extension and the use of props and ice.

Current guidelines and procedures for non-qualifying showcase competitions can be found at www.usfigureskating.org, under “Programs” on the National Showcase page.

EVENT: Showcase Events – Interpretive Events

General:

- Interpretive is a performance choreographed by the competitor, unaccompanied and unassisted, to music supplied by the competition committee / LOC. - Programs should incorporate various elements of expressive movement and skating moves, to enhance the skater’s interpretation of the music, rather than technical elements. - All competitors in an event will interpret the same music. - Props are permitted - There is to be no instruction allowed during this event from coaches, parents, or fellow skaters. Staging area must be kept clear except for ice monitor and listening competitor.

Basic Skills Format

- The music will be played twice during an on-ice warm-up prior to the performance. - After the warm up, all skaters except first competitor will be escorted to a locker room with a fan running or another location where they can’t hear the music. The escort will remain with the skaters and no one else is allowed with the skaters. - The first skater will hear the music one more time and then perform a program to the music. - The next skater will listen to the music for the third time at the rink entrance but must not watch as the first skater performs.

USFS (National Showcase) Interpretive Format

- The music will be played during a 30-minute off-ice session and twice during an on ice warm-up prior to the performance. - The room will be attended only by the adult monitor assigned to play the music and the competing skaters in that group. - After the warm up skaters will go back to a room, with no music being played. - Skaters will be brought to the ice when the previous skater finishes. - Props are permitted but must be brought into the room prior to listening to the music, and be taken to the ice only when the skater is called to perform. Props may not be pre-positioned on the performance surface.
