I hope this goes here: MIF
Mod note: new thread split out from the participant School Figures discussion topic.
Moves in Field?
What does that contain?
(and is there a FAQ section I keep missing, like the meet and greet?)
There are several reference stickies in the "Sitting on the Boards Rinkside" forum.

Here's a good introduction to what "Moves in the Field" (MITF) are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moves_in_the_field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moves_in_the_field)

Good thread! I've wondered if there is a definition for the phrase "in the field", like spirals in the field, three turns in the field?

Other wise known as 'Field Moves' here in the UK... Foot work and controlling edges basically!!
Here are our levels (may have changed slightly but it's roughly this):
Field Moves
Level 1: Forward Outside edges down one side of the rink, between 4 and 8 semicircles required; Forward Inside edges, between 4 and 8 semicircles required; Forward Crossovers in both directions, done as a figure of 8; Backwards crossovers in both directions done as a figure of 8; backward crossovers into landing position in both directions; spirals in a straight line down one side of the rink, half the length on each foot, repeat on other side of rink.
Level 2: Back Outside edges down one side of the rink, between 4 and 8 semicircles required; Back Inside edges, between 4 and 8 semicircles required; Forwards and backwards crossrolls; Mohawk sequence - push LFO, RFI mohawk to LBI, step wide R crossover, step to forward and repeat on other foot. Repeat down the rink; Outside 3 turns in figure of 8; Inside 3 turns in figure of 8.
Level 3: Forward edge changes on 1 foot; Alternating 3 turns (LFO RBI for half the rink, RFO LBI for second half, then second side LFI RBO then RFI LBO), ; Forward stroking with extended positions; Spirals on curves (LFO toe push LFI push RFI toe push RFO then to other side of rink RFI RFO LFO LFI).

Level 6: Perimeter FI and FO double threes; FI rockers and BI double rockers; FO and FI brackets; Russian stroking (clockwise and anti clockwise) (NB they look for quick changes and steep lobes for this exercise at this level)
Level 7: BO change of edge to BI double threes, BI change of edge to BO double threes; BI rocker/choctaw on a circle;BO and BI quick three turns (intro to twizzles) - basically a double twizzle or double double three; BI brackets (FI 3 cross in front, BI bracket)
