The U.S. Figure Skating Championships are held annually to crown the national champions of the United States. Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels. The event is organized by U.S. Figure Skating, the sport's national governing body. Pewter medals have been awarded to the fourth-place finishers in each event since 1988. The competition's results are among the criteria used to determine the American teams to the World Championships, World Junior Championships, Four Continents Championships, and Winter Olympics. [1]
Qualification for the U.S. Championships begins at one of nine regional competitions. The regions are New England, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Upper Great Lakes, Eastern Great Lakes, Southwestern, Northwest Pacific, Central Pacific, and Southwest Pacific. The top four finishers in each regional advance to one of three sectional competitions (Eastern, Midwestern, and Pacific Coast). Skaters who place in the top four at sectionals advance to the U.S. Championships.
Skaters can also receive byes to the competition. Skaters can earn the right at the U.S. Championships without qualifying through a sectional championship by: [2]
Skaters may also receive byes through a qualifying competition if they compete in an international event during the time that qualifying event is to take place. For example, if a skater is competing at an event at the same time as his or her regional competition, that skater would receive a bye to the corresponding sectional competition. If a skater is competing at an event at the same time as his or her sectional competition, that skater would qualify for the national event without having had to compete at a sectional championship.
Skaters may not compete in the same discipline at different levels in the same National Championship, but may compete in different disciplines at different levels. For example, a skater could not compete in both the junior women's and senior women's events, but could compete in both the junior women's and the senior pairs events. Skaters are also not permitted to regress a level; if a skater has competed in senior women's, she may not compete in junior women's in any subsequent year.
There are no age limits to competing. The terms "novice", "junior", and "senior" refer to the level of skating, not the age of the competitors. Therefore, competitors on the senior level do not have to be old enough to compete internationally on the senior level, and competitors on the junior level do not have to be young enough to compete internationally on the junior level.
Note that the qualifying rules for the U.S. Championships have varied greatly over the history of the event. The regional qualifying event structure was not uniformly put in place until the 1966–67 season. Also, prior to this time, at sectional qualifying events skaters competed at one level above their national level, so (for instance) senior sectional champions qualified to skate at the junior, rather than senior, national level. [3] Qualification for the senior national championship was through a separate set of rules, essentially based on results from the previous season. [4] There have also been changes at various times to the number of skaters qualifying through sectionals, and to policies for byes.
During the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, the traditional qualification system was replaced with The Championship Series due to the impact of COVID-19. The 2021 U.S. Championship Series took place in a virtual format from November 10 through December 6. [5] The top scores (senior ladies (9), senior men (9), senior pairs (6), junior ladies (12), junior men (12), junior pairs (8), junior ice dance (10)) from the series advanced to the 2021 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. All senior ice dance teams who registered for the in-person qualifying season advanced to the 2021 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. [6]
The 2022 U.S. Championship Series was a series of eight competitions from October 4 through November 20. [7] For senior singles, the top two total combined scores from each section and next best top three scores from the nation advanced to the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. For junior singles, the top three total combined junior scores from each section, the next best three total combined junior scores, and the top three total combined novice scores advanced to the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. For pairs and ice dance, the top total combined scores (senior pairs (5), senior ice dance (4), junior pairs (9), junior ice dance (12)) advanced to the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. [8]
Beginning in the 2022-23 season, regional competitions were combined to a series of competitions running from mid-July to early October. Skaters with the top scores within the NQS then qualify for a NQS Final competition (Pacific Coast Sectional Singles Final, Eastern Sectional Singles Final, Midwerstern Sectional Singles Final, U.S. Ice Dance Final, U.S. Pairs Final).
The top juvenile, intermediate, and top novice skaters are then invited to the National High Performance Development Camp while top novice, junior, and senior skaters advance to the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

Adult figure skating is a term used by skating organizations to refer to tests and competitions for amateur ice skaters over 21.

Adults who are learning to skate without prior experience are also included. In addition, a "Young Adult" category has been added to many Adult events.
