ISI Competition fees will be paid directly to the coach that puts you on the ice. Fees for Tiesha can be CASH or Venmo (@tiesha-dimaggio). If you are paying with Venmo, please indicate in details 2024 TOR If you are paying in cash, be sure that your payment is in an envelope and is clearly marked on the outside with the skater name and events. If you are unable to pay on or before the event date, please let your coach know.
Competition coaching fees reflect the time spent with the coaches for off ice warm up, on ice warm up, the event, and support after the event.
ISI competitions are done as a team where all of our ACT coaches chip in and assist to cover the skaters and the duties required of coaches so the event can run smoothly. You may not always have your primary coach putting you on the ice but we will have all assignments covered for all of our skaters. We will assist with warm up for interpretive events but once the skater reports to the rink assigned area for listening to the music, coaches are not allowed in that area
All skaters earn points for their events and those points are all added up and totaled. The skating team (club) who has the most points wins a team trophy. Skaters get points as follows: 1pt-participation, 5pts-1st place, 4 pts-2nd Place, 3pts-3rd place, 2pts-4th place, 1 pt-5th place. So a skater that earns a gold medal will receive 6 total points for their team for that event. Skaters are awarded 1st-5th place and any skater that does not come in the top 5 will earn a 6th place medal. Team trophies will be given at the end of the event once all results are tallied.
Skaters must be checked in 1 hour prior to your first event WARM-UP TIME (not event time…otherwise you may miss your warm up) You will need to check in at registration desk. For any additional events or the first event of the day, you can arrive 45 min prior to event warm-up. Events can be run early so you do not want any surprises!
When you arrive check in with your coach to let them know you are at the rink. Be ready for off ice warm up in the rink by where the skaters get on the ice.
Reminder that coaches may be rotating duties. One of us will be judging, one warming up, and putting skaters on the ice. Refer to the competition schedule to know which coaches are judging, which coaches are rink-side, and who is warming up and rounding up skaters
Your skates (BOTH of them!)
BRING SNEAKERS FOR WARM UP
Come in your outfit ready to skate. Have backup tights and dress if you have them.
Extra scrunchies, bobby pins, comb, brush, hairspray, etc.
Make sure if you are recording your event that you bring your charger for your phone and put it on airplane mode when in the rink so your battery does not drain and your video is not halted due to an incoming message
Any makeup you will require for touch ups (do makeup at home if you can)
Sweater or warmup jacket, a blanket if you know that the rink is cold. Hand warmers, heated throws also work well to stay warm.
Acceptable warm up jackets that can be worn on the ice must be a club jacket, full zip black solid hoodless jacket. If you have a question of what may be an acceptable substitute, txt coach a pic prior to Sunday
Music has been uploaded for the event, but it is highly recommended to have your music on your phone (and a dongle if needed) that is easily accessible if there are any unforeseen music issues
Guards and soakers
Your “emergency bag” (this should contain spare screws for your blades, a screwdriver, spare laces, band-aids, aspirin, etc.)
Make sure you take or have any medications you need.
If you have any issues please email Tiesha (tieshask8@gmail.com). You can text as well but my phone does not work in the rink but the Wi-Fi does.
Bring snacks (meal) and water. Do not assume the concession area will have healthy food choices
If you have props, check at the registration table where they can are allowing them to be kept prior to your event
