Solo Dance Series 2010/2011 – Expression of Interest
NISA are now asking all clubs interested in hosting an event as part of the 2010/2011 series to register interest. Click here for information and click here for expression of interest form.
Adult Championships
A revised version of the BAC document has now been produced and can be found here, BAC_ENTRY_FORM_2010. NISA would like to apologise for the publication of the wrong couples OD requirements in error and advise skaters that this has now been rectified. The decision has also been taken to add a Gold Free Dance section for dance couples, allowing them to compete without changing programme requirements.
We would ask that any skaters who have downloaded the initial version please destroy it and use the new version, dated December 2009 to prevent any further confusion. Skaters should be aware that all programme requirements are MAXIMUM requirements and there is no deduction should any skater choose not to perform all the elements.
This document has been prepared trying to accommodate skaters who skate Internationally and also those who continue to take tests within the NISA test structure, while also taking into account the Board decisions to use generic criteria wherever possible and the requirement to move this event to the IJS judging system in 2010. It is also designed to cover all levels of ability. Although not possible to incorporate every request, this document will allow as many skaters as possible to be compete in the BAC event.
NISA would like to thank the many adults who have given their time to attend meetings and submit views about the event over the last 9 months. Although varied and on occasions very diverse, each opinion was taken into consideration and an enormous amount of time was spent preparing this document. NISA appreciate and value the Adult Membership and over recent years have worked hard to raise the profile of this event, and look forward to a successful event in Sheffield in February 2010.
The information and details of the newly constructed technical levels for the Solo Dance events will be available very shortly on the NISA website. Those for singles, pairs and dance events are as per ISU documentation.

Pre-planning for IJS Roll Out
In advance of the IJS trial events/events planned for 2009/10 NISA have made the following decisions regarding events to be considered and possibly approved:
In due course, when plans are announced, clubs/rinks approached by NISA must supply the following information before consideration:
• proposed system. i.e. paper, partial paper, full system
• Whether video replay will be used
• Who will be providing the equipment. It is NISA policy that volunteers/NISA panel officials should not be expected to provide equipment.
• Details of all proposed fully trained officials from the NISA IJS panel lists or suitably qualified officials from abroad, to include judges, referee, technical panels, results officials, data operators, video operators and video cutters. Obviously data and video only applies if the system requires them.
NISA will contact all officials directly once the event is authorised to advise of what they are required to do in terms of pre-event planning and post event feedback following the event and any requirements during the event. Wherever possible, NISA aim to send representatives to these events.
All events will be run under a NISA IJS Permit operating as per the current RJS Permit system
It was also agreed that all training in any IJS area at these events or separately would be in conjunction with or via NISA to ensure consistent standards across all disciplines and areas of the UK.
