This survey will be used to for the selection and assignment of officials for the Synchro Series and for synchro events at the Provincial Championships, Adult Championships, and Sectional Series - November in the 2023/2024 season.

In the spirit of transparency, the principal goals of Skate Ontario and the Synchronized Skating Working Group are: 

- To have high quality officiating at all synchro events

- To have well-balanced panels including both experienced and progressing Officials 

- To strive for panels of at least five judges at Synchro Series events  

Priority for assignment to Synchro events will be given using the following criteria:

- Officials with the most availability for an event

- Officials with fewer conflicts

- Officials with most needed qualifications and experience

- Geographic proximity

- Promotion and experience needs (including phase 2 candidates, on-panel judging experience, and Canadian exam candidates)

Please note: Synchro Series events have defined travel budgets for Officials. The Synchro Working Group and Tech Reps strive to balance the promotion & pathway needs/requests of Officials with the established travel budget for each event. For those Officials travelling to events from a distance, any efforts you can make to reduce your travel expenses (i.e. carpooling with other officials close to you) would be greatly appreciated.
