The following are the Well Balanced Program Criteria for Adult competitions for 2006-2007. This information has been created based on a survey of similar Adult event criteria and test requirements for each level. Skaters and coaches are reminded that these are maximum numbers and that there is no penalty for not completing the maximum number allowed. Elements beyond the maximum will not be considered for points in CPC, or subject to a deduction under 6.0. A formal review of test criteria will take place in order to better manage these criteria in relation to current rules, competitive program structure and figure skating terms.
