DIRECTIVE: Compulsory/Short Program Suit for 2009 Competition Season

CBTF hereby relaxes the requirement that Level A compulsory and short program competitors wear the current CBTF Suit during the 2009 competitive season and permit them to wear plain black leotard/body suits (or borrow a current one) for all open and Provincial competitions.

NOTE: Levels B & C Compulsory athletes shall continue to follow the current rule – that they are required to wear plain black leotards/body suits with the option to wear the current Suit or new Suit should they wish.

Until the New Suit design has been approved, a supplier secured and orders able to be processed, the following will apply:

If the New Suit is available for purchase and delivery in time for any Open competition during the 2009 competition season, any 2009 Provincials and/or the 2009 Canadians, athletes have the option to wear any of the following at any of these competitions:

Plain black leotard/body suit
The Current Suit
The New Suit

If the New Suit is available for purchase and delivery in time for the 2009 International Cup, then ALL athletes must wear the New Suit at the International Cup. If it is not ready, then ALL athletes must wear the Current Suit (see below).

The CBTF Technical Chair will be responsible to monitor the process and will maintain contact with the Compulsory Suit Committee, the Board of Directors and the Technical Committee. Any changes to the above-mentioned process will be sent out to the Board & Technical Committee via email for distribution to CBTF members and published on the CBTF website.

Background

During a recent conference call, the CBTF Board of Directors has committed to having a new CBTF Compulsory/Short Program Suit designed over the coming months. A committee has been formed with the following members:

Karen Gratton – Technical Chair (Committee Chair)
Kyla Wilson – Athletes Rep
Kristin Macaraeg – Coaches Rep
Ron Kopas – Judges Rep
Jeff Johnson – President & Exofficio

This Committee has been directed to do the following as soon as possible:

Determine basic style & design requirements for the suit.
Locate three potential suppliers, provide them with these requirements & have them present one or more possible designs of suits& price quotes – deadline: Feb 1, 2009.
Once all members have received the designs, they shall, via email or conference call, discuss the merits of each. The Committee shall be the final panel to determine which design is the most favorable however if a decision cannot be made, then the choices will be taken to the CBTF Executive to make the final choice.
The supplier with the final design shall be notified immediately and CBTF members shall be informed of the ordering details.

It is our objective to complete this process on or around March 1, 2009. Expecting that turnaround time for orders would be approximately 4-6 weeks, this would ensure that most of our athletes would be able to have them in time for their Provincials, the Canadians and/or the International Cup.

At this time we are aware that several athletes are in need of new suits. We would advise not to order a current suit from our supplier, Simply Best, for this competition season; rather purchase a plain black body suit or borrow the current suit until such time as the new suit is ready to be ordered.
