2021-22 Russian Cup Series (National Qualifying Competitions)

The Russian Cup Series is a series of domestic competitions where skaters can compete to qualify for the Russian National Championships. More information will be added to this post as it appears. The Russian Cup events have also been added to our calendar.

QUALIFYING STRUCTURE

Senior and junior skaters can qualify for the senior Russian National Championships by competing at two of five events in the Russian Cup Series. As in the ISU Grand Prix series, points are allotted to final placements at each competition. Qualifiers are determined by the total number of points earned from two competitions up until the maximum number of competitors per discipline is filled. In the case of a tie, the tie is broken by combined total scores over the two competitions.

Normally, skaters are granted immediate qualification to the Senior National Championships if they have an assignment on the ISU Grand Prix or qualify to the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final.

The maximum number of skaters who can compete at the Senior National Championships is 18 men, 18 women, 12 pairs, and 15 dance teams. Skaters must be at least 14 years old to compete at the Senior National Championships.

SYWTW FS

Due to the effects of COVID-19 on the international skating calendar, Russian skaters are required to participate in the Russian Cup Series this fall in order to qualify for the Russian National Championships in December.

This post provides an explanation of the Russian Skating Federation qualifying structure and a list of links and information that will be updated throughout the season. The Russian Cup events have also been added to our Google Calendar.

Normally, skaters are granted immediate qualification to the Senior National Championships if they have an assignment on the ISU Grand Prix or qualify to the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final. However, in the 2020-21 season, all skaters were originally required to compete on the Russian Cup Series in order to qualify for the Senior National Championships, unless otherwise exempted by the federation due to extenuating circumstances.

The maximum number of skaters who can compete at the Senior National Championships is 18 men, 18 women, 12 pairs, and 15 dance teams. Skaters must be at least 14 years old to compete at the Senior National Championships.

2018-19 Russian National Qualifying Competitions

SYWTW FS

Over the course of fall, Russian skaters will compete on the Russian Cup Series to qualify to the National Championships in December 2018. This post will explain the Russian Skating Union qualifying structure and provide a list of links and information that will be updated throughout the season.

QUALIFYING STRUCTURE

Russia holds three separate National Championships at the senior, junior, and novice levels. Junior and senior skaters qualify for the Russian National Championships by competing at two of five events in the Russian Cup Series. As in the ISU Grand Prix series, points are allotted to final placements at each competition. Qualifiers are determined by the total number of points earned from two competitions up until the maximum number of competitors per each discipline is filled. In the case of a tie, the tie is broken by combined total scores over the two competitions.

Skaters are granted immediate qualification to Senior Nationals if they have an assignment on the ISU Grand Prix or qualify to the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final. Skaters are immediately qualified for Junior Nationals if they have a ISU Junior Grand Prix assignment. Skaters who have already qualified for Nationals can still compete at Russian Cup events if they want to, but their placement will not affect their advancement to Nationals.

The maximum number of skaters who can compete at the Senior and Junior National Championships is 18 men, 18 women, 12 pairs, and 15 dance teams. Skaters must be at least 14 years old to compete at the Senior National Championships.

Novice skaters compete in their own national championships in two age groups, junior novice (born 2008 or later) and senior novice (born in 2006-2007).  Novice skaters qualify via regional (“zonal”) competitions or city championships depending on their location, with various quotas of skaters advancing from each. Novice Russian competitions are composed of 3 segments instead of 2: elements, short program and free skate. The elements portion of the competition requires one solo jump, one jump in combination, a combination spin and a step sequence. Each skater is allowed 2 attempts at the jumping passes.
