USFS replacing Qualifying Season with Championship Series

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

USFS replacing Qualifying Season with Championship Series

Post by Elizabeth »

The 2021 U.S. Figure Skating Championship Series presented by Toyota, is a series of eight competitions that will take place over a four-week period beginning Nov. 10, 2020. The Championship Series has been created to replace the traditional U.S. Qualifying Season competitions (Challenges and Finals) for the 2020-21 figure skating season due to the impact of COVID-19. The Championship Series format, which has been approved by the U.S. Figure Skating Board of Directors, was conceived as a result of athlete, coach, and parent/guardian or chaperone feedback, as well as input from the U.S. Figure Skating Competitions Committee and discipline skating committees.

The delayed start of the U.S. Qualifying Season, originally scheduled to begin on Sept. 29, will allow athletes the necessary time to train so they are ready to compete with proper preparation. As it has done throughout the planning process for the Championship Series, U.S. Figure Skating will continue to assess the viability of this plan based on state and local regulations to ensure the health and well-being for all participants.
