The 84th Annual Middle Atlantic Figure Skating Championships Sept. 10-13, 2009 Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers Register online NOW
NEW THIS YEAR:
EVENT PRICES INCLUDE DVD: ALL ENTRY FEES INCLUDE ONE DVD OF THE EVENT’S ENTIRE FLIGHT. If you sign up for multiple events requiring additional entry fees you will receive 1 DVD for each event. Qualifying events will receive a video of the qualifying round only. You may purchase a FINAL round DVD from the vendor.
TEAM COMPETITION: To make Mids a little more fun,we are adding a team concept to the competition. For levels No-Test through Pre-Juvenile, the top four skaters in each group will earn points toward a team trophy. So,we are asking skaters in these levels to indicate their home rink on the application. If you skate at multiple rinks, the choice as to which rink you represent is up to you. This will be the team you skate for! That is all you need to do. There are no additional events or fees. The team trophy for each level will be awarded once all groups at that level have skated.
PAIRS CRITIQUE: At this year’s Middle Atlantics we are introducing a Pairs Critique for all levels. We will have World and National judges, specialists and controllers working with the teams and their coaches. The critiques will be divided into 2 groups; Intermediate and below and Novice and above. The critique is included in the event price. See last page of PDF for details.
For further details on these new features, please download and print the MIDS Information and Application Package (see below). Download MIDS Information package

Coaches, your membership renewals have an additional step. After you renew your membership through SCNY, your regular US Figure Skating membership is automatically renewed as well. This year, you also have to go to the US Figure Skating web site to verify your liability insurance and provide information for the required background check. This step is required by all coaches who plan to have skaters test or compete for U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned events - this includes Mids, SCNY test sessions, etc. Link for additional information.
