In
SGA restricted the elements can be no higher than those listed and the
penalties for elements above level are severe. In SGA unrestricted the
skater must not exceed the test level but can do whatever the skater can
manage. Those who skate in the restricted event will qualify for the
same event at SGA. The skater has to elect one or the other and can't do
both. There are a lot of skaters who do not test up to their real
skating ability and coaches need to be aware that unrestricted really is
unrestricted.
Additionally, if you qualify in one
event, such as freestyle, you can enter any event at National State
Games in San Diego 2011.
