Before you enter.
The questions synchro teams ask us most. General Games questions are in the main FAQ.
Do I need to list all team members when I register a team?
No. Each player registers and pays on their own. Whoever creates the team gets a team code and shares it with the rest of the team. The others enter that code when they register, or add it later in My entries. Your team builds up as players join with the code.
What if two players from the same team both create a team? Don’t worry. We follow team entries and contact you to merge the two into one team code.
As a general rule:
- 30 November 2027: ice hockey, curling and synchronised skating teams must be complete.
- 31 December 2027: entries close. Until then, players can still join or change within their team.
If a team is not complete by 30 November, we contact the team so we can fix the competition schedule by 31 December. Check the exact rules for your sport on its sport page.

How do teams register?
- Add the team sport to your basket: ice hockey, synchronised skating or curling.
- Choose your category in the sport form.
- Create a team, or enter the team code you got from a teammate. If you don’t have a code yet, leave it empty.
- Whoever creates the team gets the code in My teams and shares it with the rest of the team.
How does a team register in synchro?
The skater who creates the team gets one team code and shares it with the team. Every member of the team registers with the code and pays their own entry. There is no team discount.
Do coaches and team staff register?
Yes. Coaches and team staff register as accompanying persons, so they get the right access at the venue. That registration opens in 2027.
What are the age rules for a team?
At least 75 % of the team must be 28 or older, and the rest 25 or older.
How big can a team be?
12 to 16 skaters on the ice, under the ISU Synchro rules.
Which category do we enter?
Adult or Masters, following the ISU Synchro definitions.
Is there practice for synchro teams?
Yes. Official practice before your event is included in your entry. Practice times come with the timetable. Extra team ice is offered later as an add-on.
Can skaters also do figure skating?
Yes. Singles, pairs and dance start on Monday 17 January. It counts as a separate sport.
