# FIGURA

> A source-linked directory of figure-skating competitions. It brings club, regional, national and international events into one interface with published fees, eligibility rules, entries and results when those facts are available.

FIGURA (figuraskate.com) is a product for figure skaters, parents of young athletes, and coaches. It solves the fragmentation problem: today's competitions are scattered across dozens of federation sites, club pages, and Telegram/Facebook groups. FIGURA pulls them into a single structured registry.

## Key facts

- **Audience:** figure skaters of every level (from club to international), parents of young athletes, coaches managing a season for their students.
- **Disciplines:** singles (men / women), pairs, ice dance, synchronized skating.
- **Geography:** broad international coverage across club, regional, national and ISU levels; coverage is not guaranteed to be complete for every country or publisher.
- **Competition card data:** name, country, city, dates and, when published, deadlines, fees, categories, requirements, official documents, entries, schedules and results.
- **Filters:** discipline, country, date range, level, entry-fee range, category, status (open / closed registration, cancelled, postponed, completed).
- **Monetization:** browsing FIGURA's recorded directory is free; free accounts can save up to 3 competitions. Pro adds unlimited saves, reminders for published deadlines and calendar export at $5/month with a 7-day no-card trial.
- **Data language:** interface copy and generated summaries are localized; names and primary-source documents can remain in their original language.
- **Partner tools:** clubs and federations can embed a source-linked upcoming-competitions widget, use a matching public country/discipline calendar feed, or build a live partner briefing without an API key; the partner one-pager is at https://preview.figuraskate.com/partners.
- **Season:** 2026/27, Open Beta.

## What makes FIGURA different

- **Vs. ISU and national federation sites:** each publisher covers its own scope, language and format. FIGURA places discovered events from multiple levels under one filter system and links back to primary sources.
- **Vs. Telegram / Facebook groups:** social channels surface announcements without consistent structure. FIGURA records supported sources in a searchable directory, while allowing for coverage gaps and publication delays.
- **Vs. individual club and school sites:** each club shows its own events. FIGURA combines events discovered across multiple official publishers.

## Verification and coverage

- A recorded fact is not automatically a verified fact.
- Cards expose source links, field-level provenance and check dates when available.
- Missing data means that the organiser has not published it or FIGURA has not found or verified it.
- Methodology and limitations: https://preview.figuraskate.com/methodology

## Typical questions it answers

- "Find figure-skating competitions in [country] in [month]."
- "When is the registration deadline for [competition]?"
- "How much is the entry fee for ISU Challenger Series events?"
- "Who is registered in the Senior category at [competition]?"
- "What adult / masters competitions take place in Europe this winter?"
- "Show all ISU international pair-skating events for season 2026/27."
