New Preliminary & PreJuv Competition Rules

At this mornings meeting the delegates voted to approve item 350 affecting the Preliminary Well Balanced Free Skate. The new rule will amend rule 3701 in the rulebook to limit the double jumps that may be performed to double Salchow, double Toe Loop, and double Loop. Neither double flip nor double Lutz will be allowed.

The board of directors also approved the following rule change to Pre Juvenile Competition.

The PreJuv Well-Balanced Free Skate will now have a maximum of 5 jump elements.

This change was declared urgent by the board to become effective at the close of the Governing Council.

These are significant changes to our lower levels and I encourage you to comment with your thoughts.
