Virtual Test Sessions
March 19, 2024
Registration must be completed by March 16, 2024 at 5pm. Paperwork and Video Submission deadline is Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at 5pm. Videos not uploaded by the deadline will forfeit test fees. Tests will be submitted to the Judges on 3/21/24 and Judging will be completed by 3/26/24.
Videos must be recorded between 3/5/24 and 3/19/24
Late registrations or late videos will not be accepted.
Important Information as of 7/1/2023:
- All videos must be recorded within fourteen days of the test date. The test date will serve as the fourteenth day. Please submit your videos prior to the fourteenth day so if there is a problem with the video, you will have time to resubmit. There will be no refund if your video is rejected on the fourteenth day. It is the responsibility of the Test Chair to determine if the quality of the video is sufficient to submit to the judging panel. If a Test Chair deems the video to be of insufficient quality, then the video will be rejected.
- A performance may only be used once for test credit. If a video has been submitted for a virtual test session, it may not be submitted again. Videos of a performance at an in-person test session, if judged at an in-person test session, are not eligible to be submitted to a virtual test session. Tests may be recorded at an in-person test session for the purpose of being judged virtually if the video is not judged while being recorded.
- There may not be more than eight other skaters on the ice during a skater’s test. Even if eight or fewer skaters are on the ice, the video must not be submitted if any skater disrupts the testing skater or prevents the testing skater from being the focus of the video.
- Videos must be recorded in landscape mode and must be of the highest quality possible (at least 720p). It is important that the skater is framed from head to toe during the entire test. The video must be of a high enough quality that the judges can clearly make out the skater’s expression and feet while the skater is testing. The video must be as stable as possible with minimal “jittering” of the camera. Please refer to the “Virtual Testing Video Requirements” document for more details. If a judge does not feel the video is of sufficient quality to evaluate the skater, they must inform the test chair of their concern and withdraw from judging the test. The video must be taken from the position of the judges stand (as if an in-person test session). Videos may not be taken while following the athlete around the ice during the test.
- Video must show a live picture of a phone showing the current time and date. Please be sure to zoom in on the phone and stay on the picture long enough to be able to read it. Skater must state their name, club and test performing.
- In virtual testing, while the video must be a continuous recording, skaters do not need to be continuously skating (short breaks between elements are allowed). It is important that one element in a Skating Skills test does not run into another. Skaters may stop briefly between elements in a Skating Skills test, but the stop must be brief (10 seconds or less). The video must continue recording the entire time. If stops between Skills become too long, a new video may be required. There is to be no coaching of the skater during the performance of their test, except for brief breaks between elements in Skating Skills tests (but not while changing direction or feet during an element) and breaks between partnered and solo portions of a pattern dance test (Rule 4302). Violation of this rule may disqualify the video.
- As of July 1, 2023, videos from a competition, exhibition, or ice show may NOT be submitted to a virtual test session (Rule 4104).
