LEVEL 5 – LEVEL 6 & OPEN FREESTYLE (SILVER) TESTS

Level 5, Level 6 (except Pair 6) and Open Freestyle Silver Tests must be judged by ONE examiner, who has either passed the same or above level or is a Silver Judge Test certified.

OPEN FREESTYLE (GOLD) TESTS

Open Freestyle Gold Tests must be judged by ONE examiner, who has either passed the same or above level or is a Gold Judge Test certified.

LEVEL 7 & PAIR 6 TESTS

Level 7 and Pair 6 tests must be judged by THREE examiners who have either passed the same or above Level or are Gold Judge Test certified.

If an ISIAsia Ice Rink has its own judges who meet the above required qualifications for Freestyle 5 to Freestyle 7 or Open Freestyle Silver to Gold tests, they can be the judge(s) for those levels as long as they are not the skater’s own coach and not necessary to submit video to ISIAsia Office for judging. If the coach is unable to arrange for qualified examiners to judge, a video test must be sent to the ISIAsia office for judging.

Coaches who do not fulfil the above required criteria, but have had students previously pass the relevant levels, should contact the ISIAsia Office to check his/her eligibility to judge Level 5-7 tests.

LEVEL 8 – LEVEL 9, OPEN FREESTYLE (PLATINUM) TESTS

An unedited video should be sent to the ISIAsia Office for our high-level test panel to judge the test. However, subject to prior approval from the ISIAsia Office, we may be able to arrange live test (providing three High Level Judges are available).

You may upload the video file to cloud storage for us to download or send us a YouTube link. When a YouTube link is provided, this link must be marked un-listed so that only those given the link can access the video.

The following guidelines must be followed for all High Level Test videos:

• 1. The video must be unedited and use a single camera. Each part of the recording must be in continuous take and cannot be broken into several recordings.
  2. Skaters should present themselves in proper skating attire and with neat hair appearance.
  3. Skaters should introduce themselves on camera with their name, home rink and the test level they are submitting.
  4. The video must be filmed on clear ice (with no other skaters) and be unedited from a single camera.
  5. A short rest is allowed in between the compulsory portion and the skating of the program; however filming must be continued during that time period.
  6. Freestyle Test
     – The video must show each required compulsory maneuver attempted two times (performed in the same order as listed in the current ISI Handbook) and then followed by the non-stop program.
     – The required dance step turns for that test level must be performed two times in isolation (alone) before completing the entire dance step sequence two times for the compulsory portion of the test.
  7. Before sending the video to ISIAsia, watch and review the video to make sure all the requirements are met. Also check specific maneuvers so everything can be clearly seen – like the angle of both legs in the Split Lutz jump, etc.
  8. If you are trying to meet a competition entry deadline, please allow at least 30 days to receive test results.
  9. If a skater does not pass, he/she can have one additional attempt before he/she will need to resubmit the Test Judging application and fee for any subsequent video submissions of his/her test. Video must be sent within one month upon receipt of the test result of the first attempt. Skaters have to resubmit the application if the test is not passed within the specified period.
  10. All the videos submitted become property of ISIAsia.
