Competition Test Credit
In accordance with Rules TR 3.00, 4.01 and 4.02, skaters may receive US Figure Skating test credit by meeting certain minimum PCS, TES and TSS scores at any U.S. competition held under the International Judging System (IJS). The athlete must “skate-up” and compete in the event for which they are seeking test credit, in addition to having already passed any prerequisites prior to the competition event. For example, if an individual junior-level freestyle skater seeks senior-level freestyle test credit via IJS protocol, he or she must enter an IJS competition as a senior-level skater and meet the minimum PCS, TES and TSS requirements for senior-level test credit during that competition. Entering a junior-level event will not suffice in this example, regardless of score.
The information packet contains forms that you and your coach need to complete and submit to the Utah Figure Skating, together with a test credit packet from the competition host, in order for us to process the competition protocols correctly. There is a $15 fee for processing the completed information packet.
Candidates have 14 days from the time they achieved the requirements at a competition to submit their documents for test credit; however, skaters who register for an adult sectional qualifying event forgo the option to submit an IJS protocol at a higher level that is dated prior to the end date of the last qualifying competition in which the skater participates within that season, depending on skater advancement. For example, if a skater registers to compete in championship masters intermediate-novice and qualifies to compete at the U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships, that skater cannot submit an IJS protocol for pre-gold singles test credit that is dated prior to the date of their championship masters intermediate-novice free skate event at the U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships. The home club test chair does not need to process the test credit paperwork within 15 days of the competition in which the requirements were achieved but must process the paperwork within 30 days of paperwork receipt.
