OK, forgive my ignorance, but do you have to place well at Sectionals, or even participate in Sectionals, to go to Nationals?
OK, forgive my ignorance, but do you have to place well at Sectionals, or even participate in Sectionals, to go to Nationals? I remember a couple of adults at my rink went to Nationals a couple of years ago, and I don't remember ever hearing anything about Sectionals. New Jersey is not so far from me, and Massachusetts is at least on my side of the country. But I'd have to pass my bronze tests first, and right now I have no freestyle time.
