The ST FUNale meets are the end of season celebration for Regional Stream skaters and Provincial Stream skaters who will not be attending BC Short Track or Long Track Championships. Skaters are encouraged to participate in their local FUNale and will earn points towards their club’s ranking for BCSSA Awards when participating in their local event. Skaters may compete in FUNales outside of their home region, but will not earn points for their club. The intention of dividing the province into five regions is to limit the travel time for younger skaters and their families, and to build the speed skating community locally.
The British Columbia Short Track (BCST) Championships are held March.
A Sport Jury is created for the duration of the event. The Sport Jury is comprised of the Chief Referee, the Recorder, the Technical Director (or designate) and a representative of the Athlete Development Committee.
All format changes proposed during the event must be approved by the Sport Jury. The BCST is the qualifier for Team BCSSA at Canada West Short Track Championships.
The British Columbia Long Track (BCLT) Championship are held in January. A Sport Jury will be created for the duration of the event. The Sport Jury is comprised of the Chief Referee, the Recorder, the Technical Director (or designate) and a representative of the Athlete Development Committee. All format changes proposed during the event must be approved by the Sport Jury. The event is the qualifier for Team BCSSA at Canadian Youth Long Track.
Eligibility for BCLT is open to all short track and long track skaters. Seeding may be based on long track and/or short track times.
