Registration for U.S. Adult Qualifying Season Postponed

Announcement says more info is coming in mid-Jan. In the meantime, they are asking competitors to complete a survey on their readiness and concerns: https://www.usfigureskating.org/news/press-release/2021-us-adult-qualifying-season-update

I like that the survey is asking about readiness. With all the shutdowns (rinks and general) going on, there are probably a lot of adult skaters who would like to compete, but haven't been able to get enough ice time to be ready to compete.

I like that they're asking us, the skaters, what we think. I know that, unless things change, I won't be ready for competitions anytime early in 2021, as I'm only skating once per week right now. Normally, I skate four times a week.

I haven't skated since I competed at Sectionals this year, and won't do so until I'm vaccinated, so obviously I filled out the survey in favor of just canceling the whole darn thing until next year

Adult Sectionals canceled, AN moved to June: https://www.usfigureskating.org/news/press-release/2021-us-adult-qualifying-season-update-2

This is very sensible. I hope things are different enough that the event can go ahead in June.

I'm not sure June is late enough for most people to have been vaccinated and for me to feel comfortable traveling. I'm also still only skating once per week for my own skating, so I think this one is a miss on my end.

The chance that most of America will be vaccinated by June is highly unlikely: https://tinyurl.com/y2nbsq55

Yeah, count me out too. I haven't skated since last February & don't expect to be able to get vaccinated til the summer, at the earliest. I miss skating a lot, but won't take the risks of going to the rink.
