Welcome Competitors & Coaches!

We're very excited to be hosting our second annual Ann Arbor FSC Adult Open. Competition is only a few weeks away, so we ask that you all look over the information below.

Ann Arbor FSC Adult Open

Important Competition Details- Please Read

Music

All music must be uploaded to EntryEeze by Friday, September 24th. Competitors are asked to bring a back-up option for their music on either a CD or a readily available phone.

Dance Events- If dancers would like to supply their own music, you must upload the file by the September 24th deadline. If dancers do not supply their own music, music will be provided by the Ann Arbor FSC using standard pattern dance test session music.

Please Note: Music is not used in the Compulsory Events

Upload Music by logging into entryeeze

Judge's Critiques

We are including a "judge's critique" with EVERY EVENT registration. This is because all events for this year will use the 6.0 system. As an incentive to those skaters who would normally only compete in IJS events, we are including this "official's feedback" to encourage higher level adult skaters to register for our event. As an event relatively early in the adult competition season, we hope that the judge's critiques will provide you and your coaches with similar insight as would an IJS protocol sheet. Our goal is to offer IJS in the future after we've had time to raise the funds necessary for the extra equipment.

Open Adult Social Ice Session

immediately following competition

Whether you're competing in the day's events or not, you're invited to join us for the Open Adult Social Ice Session following the Ann Arbor FSC Adult Open. Adult skaters of all levels are encouraged to join us for this fun adult-only ice session held on our Stadium Rink.

Cost- $15 per person

For those not competing, register HERE

Practice Ice

Be prepared for the day's events! Several 30 minute Practice Ice Sessions will be held throughout the day. Sign-up for Practice Ice is taking place now. A follow-up email will be sent after the schedule has been finalized so that skater's may select their Practice Ice time(s). We strongly encourage that you register ahead of time for Practice Ice as all sessions are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cost- $20 per 30 minute session

Tossies

Adult competitions are known for their "tossies"- little gifts thrown on the ice following competitor's performances. Your participation is entirely optional! However, if you are interested in participating, we ask that items be well sealed and non-fragile. Examples- tissues, candy, snacks, notes of encouragement, stuffed animals, etc. We will have "sweepers", youth skaters, available to assist competitors in collecting items off the ice.

COVID Policies

At this time, U.S. Figure Skating requires that all sanctioned events must follow the same COVID restrictions. As a result, all competition guests including skaters, coaches, and spectators must properly wear a face mask while in the building. The only exception to this rule is for skaters while they are on the ice. Skaters are not required to wear a face mask while on the ice for practice ice, warm-up, their performance, or our social ice session following the competition.

Please note that we will not be requiring vaccination or testing results. However, if you are not feeling well, we ask that you please stay home.
