NSW STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

We are really excited about the upcoming NSW State Championships this weekend and the following is some important information attendees need to know about the weekend.
Who can attend the competition with the skater?

  • This competition will be a non-spectator event.
  • Spectators are limited to two parents/carers per skater for minors and one chaperone per skater for adult competitors where practical. This requirement is to best ensure that numbers at the rink remain COVID compliant in accordance with Hunter Ice Skating Stadium and NSWISA's COVID Safety Plan. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Livestream
For those unable to attend the rink, NSWISA will be live streaming the event. The link to the livestream can be found here.
Pre-event Procedures
All skaters are requested to come to the rink with:
  • Attire, hair and make-up done.
  • A towel/blanket to sit on whilst using benches/chairs to put on and take off skates
  • Their own, labelled water bottle and snacks.
Synchronized Skaters
All synchronized skaters should identify themselves with photo ID. This could be in the form of Passport, Licence and for Students, student ID. This is a benchmark event and as such, proper identification checks need to be made.
Synchro Teams should move to their allocated dressing room and exit this room in a timely manner following their performance so it can be prepared for the next team. Synchro Teams and their managers should be mindful of the noise coming from their dressing rooms as the rooms are now behind the officials' panel.

Post-event Procedures and Exiting the Rink
After each skater has competed, they may return to their accompanying chaperones, to take off their skates, and wait until the announcer indicates which skating divisions should proceed to the presentation area or leave.
All skaters in each division should remain until the results have been signed off by the Referee & TC. Medal presentations will be conducted as soon as practicable after every event. All skaters, and their accompanying chaperones, are kindly requested to collect their personal belongings and exit their designated seating area and the rink in a timely manner after the presentation for their division has occurred. Please do not loiter and chat to other skaters, coaches or chaperones, or watch the other divisions. This will assist on-going cleaning measures being undertaken throughout the competition.   
Enjoy the skating and good luck!
DON'T FORGET - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS BEGINS SUNDAY OCTOBER 4 
Just a reminder that Daylight Savings begins this Sunday, so clocks should be moved forward on Saturday night. All times on the NSW State Championship Schedule on Sunday and Monday are Daylight Savings time.
ISA ONLINE TRIAL COMPETITION
In early September, ISA announced an Online Trial Competition. This competition was open to Preliminary and Elementary Skaters who were nominated by their coach. Each coach could only nominate one skater from either division. The competition was quickly organised and ISA have recently published the results. Congratulations to Mayah Yeung (1st) and Melissa Cheung (2nd) on their places in the Preliminary Division and to Peyton Bellamy-Martins (1st), Taylah Moussa (2nd) and Sophie Williamson (3rd) in the Elementary Division. Thank you to the skaters and coaches who were part of the trial, to the LCCISC, Ice Zoo and HISC who made ice available and to our officials who gave up their time to be part of this trial also.
The results of the competition can be viewed here.
NSWISA RECOGNISES EXCELLENCE AND COMMITMENT
Our upcoming NSW State Championships are a great opportunity for our skaters to demonstrate their progress and be recognised for the achievements. We have 2 awards which we are excited to present at State Championships - the Alan Blinn and Simone Moore Memorial Fund Award and the Wendy Langton Distinguished Service Award.
Both of these awards recognise commitment to the sport of Ice Skating. The Alan Blinn and Simone Moore Memorial Fund Award aims to assist aspiring skaters while the Wendy Langton Distinguished Service Award recognises one of our many volunteers for their devotion to our sport.
NSWISA looks forward to presenting these awards this weekend.
VOLUNTEERING AT NSW STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Our State Championships are run off the back of the tireless work that our volunteers undertake. Hunter Ice Skating Club have provided the lion share of this volunteer work force, but there are still roles that need to be filled. Please consider sparing some time to help in the smooth and safe running of this event.
