Figure Skating FAQ

Before you enter.

The questions figure skaters ask us most. General Games questions are in the main FAQ.

How do pairs register?
Pair events are for two people: figure skating pairs, ice dance and disc golf pairs. Each partner registers and pays their own entry.
  1. Add the sport to your basket.
  2. Choose the pair event.
  3. Write your partner’s name in the sport form.
  4. Your partner does the same with your name.
Don’t know your partner yet? Leave the name empty and add it later in My entries, in your sport form. Enter a pair event only if you are competing with a partner.
What if my event is full?

Some events have a limited number of places, mainly in figure skating, ice hockey and curling. A full event shows as Full. In figure skating you can join the waiting list for free, for up to three events. If a place opens, we contact you and you pay then. In ice hockey and curling, places go to complete teams in the order they are completed. Later teams go on a waiting list.

What if my figure skating category is full?
When an event is full, it shows Full in the registration shop. You can still join the waitlist. 👉 Join the list: https://masters2028.com/waitlist-figure-skating/ How it works
  • Joining is free. You only pay if we offer you a spot.
  • Up to 3 events. Tick the events, levels and age class you want to wait for.
  • We contact you. When a skater withdraws, or we can open more spots at your level, our office offers them in waitlist order.
  • Age classes follow the ISU Adult classes.
Full now doesn’t mean full for good. Nothing Stops Us.
What if my figure skating event is full?

It shows as Full in registration. Join the waiting list for free, for up to three figure skating events. If a place opens, we contact you and you pay then.

 

How old do I need to be?

28 or older, under the ISU Adult rules. Your age class follows the ISU Adult classes, from Class I (28–37) upwards.

Which level do I enter?

Singles and ice dance: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Masters or Masters Elite. Pairs: Adult, Intermediate, Masters or Masters Elite. All under the ISU Adult rules, one level per discipline.

Can former elite skaters enter?

Current elite competitors cannot. The cut-off for former elite skaters is in the announcement.

Can I enter singles and ice dance?

Yes. Singles, ice dance and pairs are all on one figure skating entry, one level per discipline.

What is artistic free skating?

A free programme judged with the focus on interpretation, music and choreography.

Can I also skate synchro?

Yes. Synchro runs 14–17 January, before the singles events. It counts as a separate sport.

When do I know my start time?

The timetable with warm-up groups is published after entries close, in Downloads.
