Title: Commonwealth Games of Virginia - question
Post by: miraclegro on June 14, 2011, 04:34:48 PM

Okay, i tried to post this in another location and...no response.  I'm still not sure where to post this... but here's the question:

Hey all,
I'm competing at the Adult Silver level in Commonwealth Games of Virginia in the Unrestricted Category.

I've used this program before for USFS competitions, and I have a lutz-loop-toe loop combo jump in it.

Well, the rules are a bit vague i think for this level.  All it states is something about Silver test elements.  Not a lot of specifics.  Well, Silver test does not have a lutz.  Can i keep the lutz in?  thanks...

The Solo Unrestricted Freeskate says:

In this division skaters are allowed more freedom to include higher moves than those in the restricted event but are still required to comply with the “well balanced program” requirements outlined in the current USFS Rule Book.

I think you have to check the WBP requirements in the USFSA rulebook to be certain about the jump combination.
While Adult Silver allows one three-jump combination, evaluate the rest of your program to make sure it's in compliance with the WBP requirements.

Alternately, you can contact the organizers - the names and emails for technical inquiries are in the announcement.

Just FYI: Unless you live/skate in Virginia, you're not eligible to enter the competition, according to the announcement. 
It's only open to out-of-state skaters if their state does not offer State Games.  Not sure where you live &/or skate, but I thought it was outside VA and that there is a recently-held State Games competition in that state.  (Maybe you moved recently?)
