Competition information

Types of Competition
- Ability Meets (RU Fast is a good example)
  Skaters are placed into groups based upon their skating ability rather than their age or sex. All participants will skate a heat and advance to a final in all distances. Placement in the finals will be based on the skater’s results in his or her heat.
  We encourage all skaters to go out and give this a try!
- Age Class Meets
  Racing at this level is based on age and sex to help foster keen competition. Depending on the number of competitors, the group may be divided into heats or semi-finals. Normally only the top skaters from each heat will advance to the finals.
  Groupings are based on Provincial and National categories.
