Missouri resident skaters or skaters from a state without their own state games placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd will qualify for The State Games of America. Except where specifically allowed, participants may NOT enter more than once in the same division.

18 BASIC/FREE SKATE GROUP SHOWCASE Two or more skaters perform a routine for audience enjoyment. Routines may be fun, entertaining, emotional, or a portrayal of characters using costumes and props. Emphasis is placed on the theatrical and entertainment value of the skater s performance rather than on the technical accuracy of specific maneuvers (no grade for technical merit). Props, if used, are limited to those the skater can hand-carry or push onto the ice themselves in one trip. The skaters may not be assisted during the set up time, and the set up cannot take more than thirty. A skater may not be given off-ice assistance during their number. No residue of any type may remain on the ice after the routine. Live props are not permitted. Props may not be flame, dry ice, or smoke oriented or any substance that will alter the surface of the ice. Competition level is determined by the highest level achieved among all the skaters in the event. LEVEL REQUIREMENTS DURATION CO-ED Basic Forward and back ward skating. Two foot spins only. Jumps with no rotation. No higher than USFS Basic Skills Basic 8 or ISI Delta 1:00 or less 800 Free Skate A Upright spins only. Salchow, Toe Loop and all 1/2 rotation jumps allowed.
