    7. will be allowed to compete in all other distances at World Cups for the season 2009-2010

     

  7. The Qualifying Standards set are based on the 2008-2009 World Cup program.

    8.  

  8. Achieving the qualifying Standard does not on its own qualify the skater for any financial support to attend the above competitions from NISA, but a case by case review will take place.

 

All Qualifying times must be recorded by electronic timing system and the event protocol must be signed by the competition referee and forwarded within 3 months of the time being achieved to:

Stuart Horsepool
National Ice Centre
Lower Parliament Street
Nottingham
NG1 1LA

At the present time NISA does not have a funded program for Speed Skating in place, therefore any expenses incurred are the sole responsibility of the athlete.

Only times skated in the 2008/2009 or 2009/2010 seasons will be considered for the World Cup program 2009/2010.
