The competition will be governed by the rules set forth in the announcement and the 2005 USFSA Official Rulebook.
The Skating Club of Brewster reserves the right to subdivide events as necessary or to cancel events due to lack of entries.

Deadline: Entries must be postmarked no later than August 27, 2005. Late entries will be accepted at the discretion of the LOC and will be assessed a $10 late fee on each event entered.
Entries and Schedules: Entry fee will be $65 for the first event and $35 for each additional event. All entry fees must accompany the entry form. Please submit a separate check for each event. If an event is cancelled, this makes the refunding of fees to the competitor easier for the LOC. There will be no refunds for withdrawals after the close of entries for medical reasons. There will be a $25 fee assessed for any returned checks. Schedules will be posted on our website, www.scofbrewster.com, approximately 2 weeks prior to the competition.
