107. WITHDRAWN BY CHAIR – Singles Committee


108. REFERRED TO SINGLES COMMITTEE – Singles Committee Amend rule TR 25.03 (pages 250 and MITF-15) as follows:


TR 25.03 Pre-Juvenile Moves in the Field Test 1. Forward and backward perimeter power crossover stroking 2. Forward outside/backward inside three-turns in the field 3. Forward inside/backward outside three-turns in the field


Stroking: Power Circles Counterclockwise Forward to Backward: Starting from a standing position, the skater will per- form eight forward crossovers in a counterclockwise direction, progressively increasing in foot speed and acceleration throughout the entire move, from a slow, but gradually accelerating pace to fully accelerated crossovers. The skater will then change from forward to backward with either a LFO three-turn or a RFI to LBI mohawk. The skater will then perform eight backward crossovers in a counterclockwise direction, starting with a slower tempo and progressively increasing in foot speed and acceleration throughout the entire move. As the skater accelerates, the circle circum- ference increases. Power circles are performed in both counterclockwise and clockwise directions. It is recommended that no more than 15 crossovers be utilized in completing each portion of this move. This move may start in either direction. Clockwise Backward to Forward: Starting from a standing position, the skater will perform eight backward crossovers in a clockwise direction progressively increasing in foot speed and acceleration throughout the entire move, from a slow, but gradually accelerating pace, to fully accelerated crossovers. The skater will then change from backward to forward with a LBO edge to a RFO edge. The skater will then perform eight forward crossovers in the clockwise direction, starting with a slower tempo and progressively increasing in foot speed. As the skater acceler- ates, the circle circumference increases. Power circles are performed in both counterclockwise and clockwise directions. It is recommended that no more than 15 crossovers be utilized in completing each portion of this move. This move may start in either direction. Focus: Power


110. REFERRED TO SINGLES COMMITTEE – Singles Committee Amend rules TR 25.05 and TR 25.13 (pages 251, 254, MITF-24, MITF-25 and MITF-26) as follows:


TR 25.05 Intermediate Moves in the Field Test 1. Stroking: Counterclockwise backward to forward and clockwise forward to backward power circles


TR 25.13 Intermediate Supplemental Moves in the Field Test 1. Forward and backward crossovers (see preliminary pattern 1) 2. Forward circle 8 (see preliminary pattern 5) 3. Forward and backward perimeter power stroking (see pre-juvenile pattern 1) 4. Backward circle 8 (see pre-juvenile pattern 5) 5. Eight-step mohawk sequence (see juvenile pattern 3) 6. Spiral sequence (see intermediate pattern 2) 7. Forward inside twizzles (see intermediate pattern 4) Passing total would be adjusted accordingly.


12. Backward double three-turns 2. Spiral sequence 3. Brackets in the field sequence 4. Forward inside twizzles 5. Inside slide chassé pattern


Stroking: Power Circles Counterclockwise Backward to Forward: Starting from a standing position, the skater will per- form eight backward crossovers in a counterclockwise direction progressively increasing in foot speed and acceleration throughout the entire move, from a slow, but gradually accelerating pace, to fully accelerated crossovers. The skater will then change from backward to forward with a RBO edge to a LFO edge. The skater will then perform eight forward crossovers in the counter- clockwise direction, starting with a slower tempo and progressively increasing in foot speed. As the skater accelerates, the circle circumference increases. Clockwise Forward to Backward: Starting from a standing position, the skater will perform eight forward crossovers in a clockwise direction, progressively increasing in foot speed and acceleration throughout the entire move, from a slow, but gradually accelerating pace to fully accelerated crossovers. The skater will then change from forward to backward with either a RFO three-turn or a LFI to RBI mohawk. The skater will then perform eight backward crossovers in a clockwise direction, starting with a slower tempo and progressively increasing in foot speed and acceleration throughout the entire move. As the skater accelerates, the circle circumference increases. Focus: Power


Spiral Sequence The skater will begin with a LFO spiral that should be held until the long axis of the rink. The skater then brings the free leg down into a RFI open mohawk and steps wide with a two-foot power push transition to a backward right over left crossover. The skater will then push into a LBO spiral to be held until the long axis of the rink. Skater must step immediately into a RFI spiral. The free leg will drop into a RFI mohawk and lift again into a LBI spiral, also to be held until the long axis. Optional steps to repeat pattern in opposite direction starting with RFO spiral. Note: All spirals should be sustained with an extended free leg to demonstrate the skater’s form and flexibility. Introductory steps are optional. This move may start on either foot. Focus: Extension and edge quality


2013-14 COMBINED REPORT OF ACTION 73


4. Forward and backward power change of edge pulls 5. Backward outside circle eight 6. Five-step mohawk sequence


Backward Outside Circle Eight The skater will push from a standing start onto a backward outside edge and complete one two backward outside figure eights. Upon returning to center at the completion of the second circle, the skater will perform a backward inside figure eight by pushing onto a backward inside edge, thereby repeating the previously skated circle. The circles should be equal in size with each circle approximately three times the skater’s height. The skater may mark the center. This move may start on either foot. Focus: Edge quality and continuous flow
