All
skaters must be members of NISA as the gala is held under NISA permit. Solo
slots will be allocated to BISC members who have represented the club at
competition between October 2013 and July 2014 based on competition results.
In the
case of there being multiple skaters applying in any category priority will go
to the highest achieved IJS score. In the case of there being no one applying
for a category that slot(s) will be allocated to other categories where there
are a surplus of skaters. Allocations will take into account the overall
line-up balance of the Gala to maintain audience appeal.
