FABULOUS CUP AND GGVII EVENTS
RULES / SANCTIONING
The Ice Skating Institute (ISI) will endorse Figure Skating at The Fabulous Cup and Gay Games VII. Specific ISI skating events are offered for these competitions that are designed to be as similar as possible to events offered at other national/international adult figure skating competitions. Updates to ISI rules prior to June 2006 may necessitate alterations to events and/or rules at GGVII. ALL SKATERS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ISI MEMBERS in good standing by the start of each competition and be ISI TESTED TO THE APPROPRIATE SKILL LEVEL.
AGE GROUPS / SKILL LEVELS
Each event will be divided into the following age groups:
| Young Adults | 18 to 24 years old |
| Class I | 25 to 35 years old |
| Class II | 36 to 45 years old |
| Class III | 46 to 55 years old |
| Class IV | 56 years old and over |
All skaters must be ISI tested to their appropriate Skill Level. IGFSU will help facilitate ISI membership and testing for all Gay Games and Fabulous Cup figure skating participants. This may require onsite testing a day or two prior to the beginning of the competitions for skaters without locally available ISI Testing.
Skaters who have passed US Figure Skating (USFS) Tests are required by ISI rules to test up to the comparable ISI Level. Below is a comparison of ISI and USFS Levels for Freestyle and Dance.
| ISI FREESTYLE LEVEL | USFS FREESTYLE LEVEL |
| Freestyle 3 | Adult Bronze or Pre-Prelim |
| Freestyle 4 | Adult Silver, Prelim or Pre-Juv |
| Freestyle 5 | Adult Gold or Juvenille |
| Freestyle 6 | Intermediate |
| Freestyle 7 | Novice |
| Freestyle 8 | Junior |
| Freestyle 8 | Senior |
| ISI DANCE LEVEL | USFS DANCE LEVEL |
| Dance 3 | Preliminary |
| Dance 4 | Pre-Bronze |
| Dance 5 | Bronze |
| Dance 6 | Pre-Silver |
| Dance 7 | Silver |
| Dance 9 | Pre-Gold |
| Dance 10 | Gold |
Skill levels are grouped uniquely for each event and these are fully described below. Skill levels and age groups may be further combined and/or divided based upon registration. A full description of ISI Skill Levels can be found at ISI Rules.
