Schedules
Exhibitions
Exhibition ice gives athletes valuable time to run their programs in front of an audience. Review how exhibitions work, compare the two schedules, and request your spot.

How Exhibitions Work
These rules apply to every exhibition, Summer and Friday Night alike.
- Submitting the sign-up form is a request for a spot, not a guarantee.
- A stratified, random draw determines the exhibition order, following a logical framework based on the number of performers and their competition levels/disciplines.
- Performers may not ‘switch’ or ‘trade’ their placements with other skaters in the exhibition order.
- Skaters performing in upcoming international or qualifying competitions may be given skate priority.
- Skaters may only request a spot 3 weeks in advance.
- The exhibition schedule is shared via email and should be checked frequently. Changes can occur after the skate order is sent out.

⚠️
Summer only: Higher level skaters take priority. Intermediate skaters may be moved to Thursday exhibitions depending on registration numbers for Novice through Senior levels.
A typical exhibition is limited to 18–30 performances, and the limit may be increased from the start of the fall season through the beginning of the qualifying season. The Friday night schedule is posted by 12:00 PM the day before. Check the Club's Ice Schedules for current times.
Same Logic, Both Seasons
Scheduling Priority
When a season fills up, requests are ranked using the same framework.
Priority Order (Descending)
| Order | Parameter |
|---|---|
| 1 | Qualifying Competitors |
| 2 | Performances in Period |
| 3 | Free Skate / Free Dance Level |
| 4 | Date of Sign-Up |
Period Dates (Used for Row 2 Above)
| Fall – Winter | Sept 1 – Jan 31 |
| Spring | Feb 1 – May 31 |
| Summer | Jun 1 – Aug 31 |
Good to Know
Waitlist & Cancellations
If there's a waitlist and you need to scratch, do it before close of business on the day preceding the exhibition (Summer: the day of the exhibition) to avoid a $25 cancellation fee to your Club account. Waitlisted skaters are ranked using the same priority framework above, so an early scratch clears a spot for the next skater in line.
