Beginning with the 2019-20 competitive season, there will be a new competitive pipeline for singles, pairs and dance athletes focused on the vision: Identify. Develop. Promote.
The pipeline features the following:
-NEW! National Qualifying Series
-New names for qualifying competitions
-Additional athletes qualifying for the sectional singles challenge
-Earlier timeline for pairs and dance teams and another opportunity for national competition
-National High-Performance Development Team Camp for juvenile, intermediate and novice athletes
NATIONAL QUALIFYING SERIES
The National Qualifying Series (NQS) is a series of official U.S. Figure Skating approved competitions hosted individually by member clubs nationwide that are held in a standard format and in which athletes earn official scores towards a sectional and national rank. The competitions are held between June 1 – September 15 and serve juvenile – senior competitors in singles, dance and pairs.
Key highlights:
-Athletes must enter the NQS directly with U.S. Figure Skating by May 28, 2019
-Athletes enter any official competitions they choose
-Only the athlete or team’s highest Total Score (TS) counts
-The top six ranking singles athletes in each section earn a bye to the Sectional Singles Final
-The top three ranking dance or pairs teams nationwide earn a bye the U.S. Pairs or U.S. Dance Final
-Athletes receive an official ‘national ranking’ and a certificate and pin to recognize their achievement.
