Competition information:

BGSU Club Figure Skating competes in three competitions annually. BGSUFS competes in the Midwestern Conference.

There are four different categories of events, short program, free skate/freestyle, solo ice dance, team maneuvers, and levels range from Pre-Preliminary to Senior. Collegiate competitions are judged under the 6.0 judging system and use a point based system to determine the overall placements of each school. 1st-5th place in every event earns points that contribute to the overall team score. At the end of the competition, the team with the highest total score wins the competition.

Please refer to the USFS Intercollegiate Guidebook and the Intercollegiate Rulebook for more information.

Please contact President Mary Jane Walther (mjwalth@bgsu.edu) for more information about joining our club.
