USFSA Rule Changes

 New- As of July 1

Rule 8223 For all standard, adult 21+ and adult 50+ preliminary through gold partnered pattern dance tests, the couple must approach the judges and introduce themselves prior to beginning the test.

For a virtual test, the candidate(s) must be clearly identified during the introduction at the beginning of the video.– just having someone else say the name is not acceptable anymore.

There must also be a digital timestamp from a phone/device that has the day and month along with the time visible at the beginning of the test.

Rule 4003 The waiting period for tests marked “retry” may not be retaken prior to the 13th day following the date of the original test includes:

A- 1. All skating skills tests;

2. Standard pre-bronze, preliminary, pre-preliminary, adult bronze, adult pre-bronze, and adaptive skating singles tests;

3. All partnered pattern dance tests;

4. All solo pattern and free dance tests;

5. All adult pair tests;

6. Adult partnered free dance tests;

7. All figure tests.

B. There will be no waiting period for standard singles, pair, or partnered free dance or solo free dance tests marked “retry” at the standard bronze level or higher, or adult singles tests at the silver level or higher.

Tests may only be taken one time per calendar day.
