## Tournaments

Before the start of judging, competitors are allotted a warmup time to adjust to the feel of ice and warmup.
Within each tournament skaters are usually separated into brackets depending on the level of badge test they have completed.

## Figure Skating Clubs

Figure skating clubs(FSC) for short, are organizations usually led by a head coach and assistant coach. More coaches may also be employed the more figure skaters are in a club. Joining a FSC is generally a must in order to join a competition, but it also provides the skater with various benefits as well. FSCs generally operate within a single rink and often contract with them for blocks of time not open to the general public in order to facilitate a more effective training environment without distractions.
