Medals

On the Awards tab, you will see “Individual”, “Combined Overall”, and "Crystal Ball" medals. As always, members who have the top three highest total scores at the end of the event will receive an Individual medal (i.e. bronze, silver and gold). The "Combine Overall" medal is reserved for the overall scores for each of the six categories shown in the table below.

• The "Individual" award is for winners for an individual overall event (i.e. Skate America, GP Final, Canadian Nationals, Worlds, etc.).
• The "Overall Combined" award is reserved for the six combined categories below:
  1. all Grand Prix events including the Final
  2. all Junior Grand Prix events including the Final
  3. all Challenger Series events
  4. all four National events (Russia, Japan, Canada, and US)
  5. all ISU Championships (Europeans, Four Continents, Worlds, Olympic Games, Olympic Team event, Asian Games, Universiade, World Team Trophy, and Team Challenge Cup)
  6. all ISU Junior Championships (EYOF, Junior Worlds, Youth Olympic Games, and Youth Olympics team) | Note many of these are biennial events and an overall award will only be given if there are 2 or more events
  7. Note: If 25% or more of the competitions for any category is cancelled, there will be no Overall Combined award for that particular category. For example: if one of the National events are cancelled, no Overall Combined Award will be given for the Nationals Category.
