2020-21 US Championship Series & National Qualifying Structure

SYWTW FS

Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, qualification for the 2021 US National Championships is slightly different from previous seasons. Skaters can qualify through placement at last season’s Nationals, the ISP Points Challenge virtual competition, or the US Championship Series virtual competition. This post will explain the USFSA national qualifying structure and provide links and information that will be updated throughout the season.

Reference: 2021 Athlete Bye and Advancement Criteria

See also: 2020-21 National Figure Skating Competitions

QUALIFYING STRUCTURE

Senior skaters can qualify for the 2021 National Championships if they fulfill the following criteria:

Senior Men & Ladies:

  • Skaters who placed in the top 5 at the 2020 US Figure Skating Championships.

  • The top 4 scores from the virtual ISP Points Challenge, excluding byes from the previous Nationals.

  • *New: The top 9 scores from the virtual US Championship Series, excluding byes and ISP Points Challenge.

Senior Pairs:

  • Teams who placed in the top 5 at the 2020 US Figure Skating Championships.

  • The top 4 scores from the virtual ISP Points Challenge, excluding byes from the previous Nationals.

  • *New: The top 5 scores from the virtual US Championship Series, excluding byes and ISP Points Challenge.

Senior Ice Dance:

  • Teams who placed in the top 5 at the 2020 US Figure Skating Championships.

  • The top 4 scores from the virtual ISP Points Challenge, excluding byes from the previous Nationals.

Skaters who earned a bye by placing top 5 at the 2020 National Championships include:

  • Ladies: Alysa Liu, Mariah Bell, Bradie Tennell, Karen Chen, Amber Glenn

  • Men: Nathan Chen, Jason Brown, Tomoki Hiwatashi, Vincent Zhou, Andrew Torgashev

  • Ice Dance: Chock/Bates, Hubbell/Donohue, Hawayek/Baker, Carreira/Ponomarenko, Green/Parsons

See the 2021 Athlete Bye and Advancement Criteria for junior qualification criteria and other information.

ISP POINTS CHALLENGE

The International Selection Pool (ISP) Points Challenge consisted of two virtual competitions where skaters could compete to qualify for the national championships. Skaters recorded videos of their programs at specific times; they were not allowed to start over if they made an error in their run-through. Skaters had two opportunities to submit videos. They could participate in one or both opportunities. The highest score a skater earned out of the two opportunities was used to determine ranking. The top 4 scorers in each discipline (excluding byes) earned spots at Nationals.

How to watch: Results and videos of the ISP Points Challenge can be viewed here.

The following skaters qualified for Nationals through the ISP Points Challenge:

  • Ladies: Audrey Shin, Starr Andrews, Pooja Kalyan, Lindsay Thorngren

  • Men: Alex Krasnozhon, Camden Pulkinen, Jimmy Ma, Joseph Kang

  • Pairs: Knierim/Frazier, Lu/Mitrofanov, Serafini/Tran, McBeath/Bartholomay

  • Ice Dance: Cesanek/Yehorov, McNamara/Spiridonov, Pate/Bye

US CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

11/11/20 UPDATE: The US Championship Series was originally planned as a series of 8 in-person competitions, but was cancelled in early November and will be held as a virtual competition instead. Similar to the ISP Points Challenge, skaters must submit their videos to be judged remotely and results will be available the week of December 21.

For seniors, the top 9 men, top 9 ladies, and top 5 pairs in the US Championship Series will qualify for Nationals (excluding skaters who have already qualified through byes or the ISP Points Challenge). There is no event for senior ice dance.

12/22/20 UPDATE: The results of the virtual US Championship Series can be viewed here. Videos are available for subscribers to Peacock Premium. Entries to the 2021 US National Championships are available here.

2020 Grand Prix Series Overview

SYWTW FS

The 2020-21 Grand Prix Series will be unlike any season before it. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Grand Prix events will be more domestic in nature. Competitors and officials at each of the six Grand Prix events must represent the host country, train in the host country, or are in the same geographical area and able to travel to the host country.

This post is only an overview; we will make separate posts before each competition with more detailed viewing information. Entries are subject to change.

FORMAT

World standing points will not be given on the 2020 Grand Prix, and scores will not count towards the minimum TES for ISU Championships. Prize money is available, but amounts vary depending on whether a discipline is “qualified”. To be “qualified”, a discipline at a Grand Prix must have at least one full group of skaters (6 men, 6 ladies, 5 ice dance teams, 4 pairs), and 3 entries (2 if one skater/team is seeded) from the top 24 season’s best or world standings of the 2019-20 season.

Exhibitions at Grand Prix events are optional and can be held at the discretion of the organizers.

See the Grand Prix Announcement for more details.

COMPETITIONS

SKATE AMERICA (Las Vegas, NV, USA)

SKATE CANADA INTERNATIONAL (Ottawa, ON, Canada) - CANCELLED

CUP OF CHINA (Chongqing, China)

INTERNATIONAUX DE FRANCE (Grenoble, France) - CANCELLED
