U.S. Figure Skating highly encourages the use of the online entry system.
This has become the preferred method of registration as the majority of the
process as a whole has already been moved online. You may enter online into
the 2007 qualifying competition season through www.usfsaonline.org. For the
purpose of electronic entry, the time zone of your home club will determine
the entry deadline of 11:59 p.m., Sept. 1, 2006. Test and age requirements
must be met by the deadline listed below.
Paper entry forms postmarked on or before may be submitted
to U.S. Figure Skating by any method that provides evidence that the entry
was submitted on or before the deadline, i.e., U.S. Postal Service, UPS, FedEx
and the like. (Succeeding business day practice will apply).
Paper entries submitted after August 25 and up to the close of entries on
Sept. 1 are that provides dated evidence
of the entry submission, i.e. U.S. Postal Service, UPS, Fed Ex, and the like.
Paper entry forms can be hand delivered to U.S. Figure Skating Headquarters
(20 First Street, Colorado Springs) during normal business hours, M-F 8:00
a.m. through 4:30 p.m. MT up to and including Sept. 1.
Deadline for tests will remain the same at “close of entries” and
would simply mean that a skater choosing to test after that August 25 date
MUST either use the online process, hand deliver or submit their entry by by any of the carriers allowed presently in rule 3212 (US
Postal Service, FedEx, UPS, etc).
In accordance with rule 3212, any entry not postmarked in the prescribed
manners will not be accepted and the skater will not be permitted to compete.
Each year it takes a considerable amount of time and resources to process
the paper entries that are submitted to U.S. Figure Skating Headquarters. Electronic
entries are a quicker, easier, and more effective method in which to register
for entry into the qualifying competition season. This year, registrations
submitted using the paper entry forms will be subject to a $50 processing fee.
Please include this additional fee in your registration payment as your entry
will not be accepted or processed until this fee is paid.
