Welcome to this week\u2019s Ask IDC Question & Answer (Q&A)! Thank you for submitting all of your great questions.\u00a0 This week, we received several about U.S. Figure Skating’s new competitive pipeline.<\/p>\n

Where can I learn more about U.S. Figure Skating’s new qualifying system?
\n<\/strong>Starting with the 2019-20 season, U.S. Figure Skating has implemented a new competitive pipeline for singles, pairs and dance, which includes the National Qualifying Series (NQS).\u00a0 More information on the new Qualifying Competitive Pipeline and NQS can be found on U.S. Figure Skating’s website.<\/a> In addition, IDC has created a page devoted to the NQS<\/a>, which includes infographics and links to all of the U.S. Figure Skating information.<\/p>\n


\nWhat events are part of the 2019-20 National Qualifying Series for ice dance?
\n<\/strong>Below are the events that are part of this year’s NQS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nHow does a team register for the NQS?
\n<\/strong>Teams enter the overall NQS by logging onto <\/span>U.S. Figure Skating\u2019s Event Management System<\/a>.\u00a0 The deadline to register is May 28, 2019.\u00a0 Once registered, teams can then choose any of the competitions they want to enter and then enter them directly. Teams should register for an event by the entry deadline posted by the competition host.\u00a0 All NQS events are entered through EMS.\u00a0 There is no minimum and maximum number of competitions couples must enter, and no restrictions on location. Only the team’s highest total score counts towards national ranking.\u00a0 For more information, visit the U.S. Figure Skating’s website<\/a> or IDC’s NQS hub<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
