Team Compulsories
Six skaters (or seven skaters for FS6-10 levels) perform a lively and entertaining routine in which each skater performs one required test level maneuver (in the order listed in the current edition of the ISI Handbook). Lively music with entertaining themes, great costumes and hand-held props are featured in this event. Skaters can compete on more than one team as long as those two teams are in different freestyle levels. Skater may skate above, but not below their own freestyle test level.
Ensemble Teams
This event is open to groups of 3-7 skaters of all levels and ages. Skaters will be judged on the performance value of the program. There are no required maneuvers, no maneuver limitations and there is no technical score for this event.
The group should use music, costumes & props to enhance the theme while creating an entertaining performance. The costume & prop guidelines are the same as for Solo Spotlight events. Props are not allowed on warm-up.
Ensemble is a great way to slowly start competing. You get to perform fun and unique programs with your friends. Team Compulsories are similar to Ensemble in grouping sizes, but here you are now a higher level of skating and you will perform more specific elements. However, Team Compulsories are still fun and unique in their themes and costumes.
