Points from Coaches
Coaches are uniquely positioned to observe which skaters are actively training and improving their skating. Further, coaches voting can offset situations wherein a skater’s family situation precludes an active competition schedule but the skater is still actively training.
CFSC sponsored coaches will have the option of assigning 20 points (based on collective agreement and where that is not possible, by averaging their individual votes). Points can be awarded by coaches to ONLY one skater OR spread out across no more than 3 skater.
