Duets: Theatrical/artistic performances by any competitors. Show costumes are permitted, as long as they do not touch or drag on the ice. Feathers are not permitted. Props and scenery must be placed and removed by unaided singles and duet competitors within one minute and by unaided singles and duet competitors within two minutes for setup and two minutes for removal. A 0.2 deduction will be assessed by the referee against each judge s mark for each five seconds in excess of the time allowed for the performance, for handling props and scenery and for scenery assistance. Performances will be judged from an entertainment standpoint, for theatrical qualities. Technical skating skills and difficulty will not be rewarded as such; however, skating must be the major element of the performance and be of sufficient quality to support the selected theatrical elements. Unintended falls, poorly executed skating elements and obvious losses of control will reduce contestant s marks. Jump difficulty is not rewarded in showcase; therefore jumps, if choreographed, should be performed with style, flow and confidence. Theatrical elements evaluated will include energy, poise, acting, pantomime, eye contact, choreography, form/extension and the use of props and ice. 6.0 Judging will be used. Deductions will be made for skaters including technical elements not permitted in the event description.
