Message from U.S. Figure Skating concerning registration for qualifying competitions:

REGISTRATION METHODS
Electronic Registration (Preferred Method of Entry)
 
U.S. Figure Skating highly encourages the use of the online entry system. This has become the preferred method of registration as the majority of the process as a whole has already been moved online. You may enter online into the 2007 qualifying competition season through www.usfsaonline.org <http://www.usfsaonline.org/> . For the purpose of electronic entry, the time zone of your home club will determine the entry deadline of 11:59 p.m., Sept. 1, 2006. Test and age requirements must be met by the deadline listed below.

Paper Entries (Only if online registration is not a viable option – subject to processing fee)

Paper entry forms postmarked on or before August 25, 2006 may be submitted to U.S. Figure Skating by any method that provides evidence that the entry was submitted on or before the deadline, i.e., U.S. Postal Service, UPS, FedEx and the like. (Succeeding business day practice will apply).
 
Paper entries submitted after August 25 and up to the close of entries on Sept. 1 are TO
BE SUBMITTED BY AN OVERNIGHT SERVICE that provides dated evidence of the entry submission, i.e. U.S. Postal Service, UPS, Fed Ex, and the like.
 
Paper entry forms can be hand delivered to U.S. Figure Skating Headquarters (20 First Street, Colorado Springs) during normal business hours, M-F 8:00 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. MT up to and including Sept. 1.
 
Deadline for tests will remain the same at “close of entries” and would simply mean that a skater choosing to test after that August 25 date MUST either use the online process, hand deliver or submit their entry by OVERNIGHT DELIVERY SERVICE by any of the carriers allowed presently in rule 3212 (US Postal Service, FedEx, UPS, etc).

In accordance with rule 3212, any entry not postmarked in the prescribed manners will not be accepted and the skater will not be permitted to compete.
 
Each year it takes a considerable amount of time and resources to process the paper entries that are submitted to U.S. Figure Skating Headquarters. Electronic entries are a quicker, easier, and more effective method in which to register for entry into the qualifying competition season. This year, registrations submitted using the paper entry forms will be subject to a $50 processing fee. Please include this additional fee in your registration payment as your entry will not be accepted or processed until this fee is paid.

Thank you.
