2022 U.S. Figure Skating Qualifying Season
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championship Series presented by Toyota will again be used for the 2021-22 season. The series of eight competitions replaces the traditional U.S. Qualifying Season competitions (Challenges and Finals).
Athletes will have the opportunity to compete at up to two competitions in the location of their choice. Advancement to the 2022 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships will be based on each skaters’ highest score earned rather than placement at each competition and the approved advancement criteria can be found here. Qualification to the National High Performance Development Team will also be based on highest score and additional details can be found within the series handbook. Registration for the Series and competitions will begin on Thursday, July 15 at 12:00 p.m. ET via EMS.
