5.   POINT REDUCTION FOR CLASS ADVANCEMENT

 PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT  a skater can move up in class at anytime during the competition season.  However, he/she does lose a certain amount of their accumulated points when moving to a more advanced ability class.  This discourages what we call "sandbagging" {i.e.: skating in an easy class just to accumulate a large number of points before advancing to the correct class.}  The following chart outlines the percentages of reductions for the  2008 C.A.S.L.<<SOUTH * NORTH * >>CONTEST SERIES:
