Debbie-- They have pre-bronze free skating again, and this time the program length is 1:40 max.

Anyway, lots of adult events, and they say that all adult events will be either Saturday or Sunday, November 20 & 21.

Does anyone know if they are going to let young adults skate in the adult events? My coach would like me to compete, because she has other students going, but I am only 24. I didn't see any young adult events listed. Thanks

Thanks, sk8pics, I saw. I may compete there - I'll have to see how my schedule goes. My coach mentioned something about the team event - she coaches several no-test/pre-bronze/bronze skaters, so if I end up on a team, I'll probably compete FS as well. Are you competing there?

RNsk8r, I would check with the organizers. My coach told me that she competed in adult events before she was 25 - it depends on the organizers, but I would definitely ask, especially since they're not offering young adult events - the worst they can say is no. Are you doing the Halloween Classic?

Hi Debbie--
I'm not sure if I'm going to do this competition or not. Depends on how things go the next few weeks. If I do compete, it will be interpretive and the pre-bronze/bronze compulsory moves. Not enough time to do a freeskating program. I'll definitely come watch, though!

RNSk8ter--
Definitely email the organizers and ask. I've always gotten timely and helpful responses from them whenever I've sent an email with a question.
