draw of the competitive figure requirements.

be separate draws for women’s and men’s events. A draw of “A” shall indicate that the first figure
will be started on the right foot; a draw of “B” shall indicate that the first figure will be started on
the left foot. The starting foot for the execution of the figures shall alternate within each selected
group of figures.

Drawing the Order of Skating
5.04.01 To draw for the starting order, a separate list from each National Federation, which contains the
names of each contestant from the National Federation in the particular figure event, shall be
folded and placed in a box. One of the persons attending the drawing shall draw one (1) list from
the box.
5.04.02 A member of the CIPA Executive Committee shall read the names aloud as listed on the drawn
sheet, and a number will be drawn for each name as it is read.
5.04.03 When all of the names on the list have been assigned a skating order number, another list will be
drawn from the box and the same procedure will be repeated until all contestants who have entered
the particular event have been assigned a starting number and an order of skating.
5.04.04 The list of figure contestants in the order drawn shall then be divided into four (4) groups (if
possible), with the first contestant of the first group starting the first figure, the first contestant in
the second group starting the second figure, etc.
5.04.05 If the total number of contestants can not evenly be divided by four, the first group shall include an
extra contestant and, if necessary, the second and third groups may also include an extra contestant.
For example, groups and contestants may be divided as follows:
Entrants Grp 1 Grp 2 Grp 3 Grp 4
12 contestants 3 3 3 3
13 contestants 4 3 3 3
14 contestants 4 4 3 3
15 contestants 4 4 4 3
