ISI Recreational Ice Skating Competitions ISI competitions are team competitions developed to encourage skaters of all ages, levels and abilities. A competition is won or lost by the team as a whole. Skaters are matched by similar ages and ability levels and compete in individual as well as team events.
Skaters earn team points as well as individual titles and awards.
Even if an individual skater does not place when competing against other individuals, he or she retains a high sense of involvement throughout the competition as a contributing member of a team. A sense of team spirit is fostered, and the emphasis is on the excitement and fun of participation rather than solely on winning.
