Basic Skills EventsSpecial Notes about Basic Skills Eligibility: The competition is open to ALL skaters who are current eligible (ER 1.00) members in good standing of clubs having membership in US Figure Skating and in the Association of Philadelphia Area Figure Skating Clubs OR are individual members of the USFS and who reside in the Philadelphia Area OR are registered with a Basic Skills Program in the Philadelphia Area. In order to participate, skaters must be members of either the Basic Skills Program and/or full members of U.S. Figure Skating. To be eligible, skaters must have submitted a membership application or be a member in good standing. Members of other organizations are eligible to compete but must be registered with the host Basic Skills Program/club or any other Basic Skills Program/club in the Philadelphia Area. ‘Philadelphia Area’ is defined as being within a 110 mile radius of City Hall. .

Eligibility will be based on skill level as of closing date of entries. All Snowplow Sam and Basic Skills 1-8 skaters must skate at highest level passed or one level higher and NO official U.S. Figure Skating tests may have been passed including MIF or individual dances. For Free skate 1-6, eligibility will be based only upon highest free skate test level passed (moves in the field test level will not determine skater’s competitive level). Skaters may skate at highest level passed OR one level higher BUT not both levels in the same event during the same competition.

It is very important to the success of the competition that skaters are placed in the correct divisions. If, for whatever reason, the Local Organizing Committee discovers that a skater has been placed in a category that is below their class level, the chairman and referee will have the option to move the skater into the proper division, even if this has to be done the day of the competition. This will ensure that every event is as fair as possible to the competitors.

Please be sure to check for the director/instructor’s signature confirming the level of the skater
