For Clubs and Skating Schools seeking to offer a competition opportunity in Manitoba that is not a Section Competition (ie wishing to run a ‘FunSkate’) please see the below information:

1.) For the 2022-23 competition season, no competitions will be sanctioned if they fall within 11 days of the start or conclusion, of a Section event. For the 2023-24 competition season, NO competitions will be sanctioned if they fall within 3 weeks of the start, or end, of a Section run event.

2.) Non section run competitions MUST have their registration deadline a minimum of three (3) weeks before the start of the competition to ensure adequate time for the officials and volunteers involved to process and prepare.

3.)
