AGE CATEGORIES
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.
