St. Louis Silver Skates Short Track

The St. Louis Silver Skates will be run as an ABILITY meet with awards given based on the

ability groupings. In this format skaters will be grouped by ability, taking into account skater

times, ages, and size to provide for a safe, fun racing experience for all. Organizers reserve the

right to make changes in format, based on the number of registered skaters and/or time

constraints. Additional races may be added as time permits.

Relay Races

Time permitting, we will hold a brief intro to relay racing clinic and some relay races following the

regular meet racing. Please indicate on your form if the skater is interested in participating in the

relays, as the relay groups will be decided in advance based on seed times.
