Reminders of 2009-2010 changesSkaters may enter a maximum of four events, including championship events. If qualifying for championship event(s) puts the skater over the four-event limit, he/she shall choose which event(s) he/she wishes to withdraw from without financial penalty. Interpretative free skating is divided into two separate events: artistic/dramatic interpretative and light entertainment/comedy interpretative. Skaters may now enter BOTH events if they wish. They may not switch events after entering.Online electronic registration (Required).Online registration is the ONLY method available for entry into the qualifying (Championship) events of the 2010 USFSA qualifying competition season.To enter online into the 2010 adult qualifying competition season, proceed in the following manner:- Log on to www.USFSAaonline.org.- Input your username and password.
The entry deadline for the 2010 U.S. Adult Championship is 11:59 p.m., Jan. 15, 2010.The time zone of your home club (members affiliated with a club) or your primary address (individual member) will determine the entry deadline.NO RE GISTRATIONS WILL B E ACCEPTED AFTER THIS DEADLINE. NO EXCEPTIONS.Age requirements must be met by Jan. 15, 2010.Test requirements must also be met by Jan. 15, 2010. Provisional entries based on passing a test after the closing date of entries will not be accepted. Please refer to USFSA Rules 3107, 3108 and 3109 for further testing information and guidelines. Skaters may NOT test the next higher level after the close of entries.This event is open for participation to all eligible competitors who are members in good standing of USFSA per rule 3050, E.R 1.02 and 1.06. For championship events at the U.S. Adult Championships and Adult Sectional Championships, non-U.S. citizens must meet the requirements of rule 3066. "Non-U.S. Citizen Application to Compete" and supporting documentation must be submitted to the Chair of the Competitions Committee no later than Jan. 1, 2010. Read Rule 3066 for complete details. Forms are available on the U.S.
2010 U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships Page 4 of 20Figure Skating web site. Those entering non-championship (open) events at sectionals and U.S. Adult Championships are not subject to Rule 3066, but fall under rule 3051B, which states that they must be legal residents of the U.S. and meet all other test, age and membership qualifications. Non-U.S. citizens entering open events need only fill in the appropriate boxes on the nonqualifying entry form.
Skaters may not enter an adult level at a qualifying competition (Adult sectionals/U.S. Adult Championships) and a standard level at a qualifying competition (regionals/sectionals/U.S. Championships) in the same kind of event, in the same competition season and vice versa. For example, a skater may not enter novice men free skate on the standard track and masters free skate on the adult track in the same season, but may enter novice men free skate on the standard track and masters pairs on the adult track.
Age and test qualifications as of entry deadline date will determine event eligibility and classification for all. Tests passed after close of entries and prior to the event will disqualify skaters if test exceeds maximum requirement for the event entered in this competition.Skaters may compete in as many disciplines as qualified by test level but may compete in only one event per discipline (maximum total of four events). As an exception, a competitor who qualifies to enter a championship event in adult dance, adult pairs, adult masters free skate or adult gold free skate through their adult sectional championships may also enter an open event at the test level for which they may be qualified.
Per rule 3292, there shall be age categories for all singles free skate and interpretive events, except championship events. For the 2010 competitive season, the age categories are as follows: .
| Class I: | 21 years through 30 years |
| Class II: | 31 years through 40 years |
| Class III: | 41 years through 50 years |
| Class IV: | 51 years through 60 years |
| Class V: | 61 years and over |
All age categories may be divided or combined depending on the number of entries. Masters levels (intermediate/novice/junior/senior) may also be combined but divided by age. This authority lies with the chief referee. Events with two skaters MAY be combined with the closest appropriate group and/or level if a skater withdraws from the event during the conduct of the competition. This ensures that the remaining skater has an event in which to compete. Proof of age is required for all events. Acceptable forms of documentation include birth certificate, passport or similar proof. The LOC reserves the right to require additional information.No medical byes will be considered. There will be no byes to the U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships.
2010 U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships Page 5 of 20When there are four or fewer competitors in an adult sectional qualifying event (championship intermediate-novice free skate, championship junior-senior free skate, championship adult gold free skate, championship adult pairs, championship adult dance), the skaters shall be required to compete. (If there is only one competitor or team in an event, that person/team moves directly to the U.S. Adult Championships without having to perform at sectionals.) If, at the close of entries, there are fewer than four competitors registered for a qualifying event at a sectional adult championship, additional competitors from the same qualifying event in other sections shall be permitted to enter the U.S. Adult Championships in order to bring the number of competitors up to a maximum of 12 (or more if ties make it necessary). See rule 3172.All competitors entering the 2010 adult qualifying competition season must submit payment of the appropriate entry fee (amounts listed below) to USFSA. All competitors are required to pay both the entry fee into the qualifying competition season (for each event entered) and the administrative fee.

S. Adult Championships Entry Fees
Those competitors advancing in the championship events from the three sectional championships will not have to submit an additional entry fee to compete in the same event at the 2010 U.S. Adult Championships. However, the championship events are NOT considered the "first singles event." Therefore, those wishing to enter another event must pay the "first singles event" fee. For example, if you want to enter adult gold free skate and masters interpretive free skate at the U.S. Adult Championships, you would pay $120 for the first singles event and $80 for one subsequent singles event -a total of $200. If you enter an open dance event and wish to also enter a solo dance event, you would pay $220 ($120 for the first dance event, $120 for the first singles event). Additional pair/dance events would be an additional $120 for each event, subsequent singles events would be $80 per event.Once entries have closed, entry fees are only refundable if the competition is not held. There are no refunds for medical withdrawals. The chief referee reserves the right to divide or cancel an event when necessary.Your registration is not valid until all appropriate entry and administrative fees have been paid and all required forms have been completed online to USFSA.
Online payment via credit card is the ONLY accepted form of payment..2010 U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships Page 6 of 20All withdrawals are considered final after a skater has entered. Once withdrawn, a skater may not re-enter, even if the withdrawal occurs prior to the entry deadline on Jan. 15, 2010.For the 2010 season, all events and levels at adult sectionals will be judged under the 6.0 system. At the U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships, the International System of Judging (IJS) will be used for the following events: all championship events, open adult gold free skating ,all masters level free skating, gold pairs, and pre-gold dance and higher.All age and test requirements can be found on the USFSA web site at http://www.usfigureskating.org/Programs.asp?id=46/Programs.asp?id=112 .
