SUMMARY:2020 CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED\nCanada Artistic Swimming (CAS) continues to monitor and follow the advice of local and federal government bodies including our national and provincial health advisories as well as staying up to date on the various states of emergency and other measures imposed provincially and locally around the country in attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19. \nGiven the current status and trajectory of the virus in Canada\, it has become impossible for the organization to safely host the 2020 Canadian Championships\, scheduled for Quebec City\, May 4-9. Effective today\, this event is cancelled. \nThis has been a difficult decision\, but CAS continues to be committed to following all of the recommended guidelines and measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 and maintain the health and well-being of the participants both in our sport and of Canadians in general. \nWe would like to sincerely thank our organizing partners Natation Artistique Québec and Québec Excellence Synchro for all the work they had already put into preparing for this event. \nCAS’s executive and volunteer leadership team would also like to take this opportunity to recognize the initiative taken by our provincial Members\, and the many individual registrants who have conducted such a positive and engaging social media campaign since the self-isolation and social distancing requirements began.  CAS is truly amazed at the creativity and resilience demonstrated by our participants. \nAs the next few weeks and months unfold\, CAS will continue to support initiatives around the development of the sport\, our coaches and our athletes to maintain active interest and to use this unprecedented time to promote tasks and activities that can be done virtually.  Like our Members and registrants\, we hope that swimming pools and programs will be back to normal soon. \nIn the meantime\, we will also continue to work with our Members to support the continuity of our organization infrastructure by sharing experiences and detailed information connected to the various stimulus packages currently being offered by our respective governments. \nA brief Q and A related to the cancellation of the 2020 Canadian Championships is below. \nWe wish all of our Members and participants continued good health and safety through this challenging period. \n\nWHY IS THE EVENT CANCELLED AND NOT POSTPONED? \nBecause of all the uncertainty around the spread of COVID-19\, it’s impossible to predict when teams would even be able to get back in the water to start training. Certain provinces have already confirmed pool closures until May 1\, others are hinting at June 1 and beyond. Because of this\, it’s impossible to schedule with any kind of certainty an event that wouldn’t run into next season. \nIF WE’RE ABLE TO START TRAINING AGAIN SOON\, WILL CAS DECIDE TO HOLD AN EVENT? \nHosting a national championships takes a lot of preparation and can’t be improvised in just a few weeks\, but we are already investigating various possibilities that could be put in place to connect the artistic swimming community\, virtually or in person\, if the occasion presented itself. We will be consulting with coaches and members of the Canadian artistic swimming community about these opportunities and will keep you informed in the coming weeks. \nWILL WE BE REQUESTED TO PAY ANY PENALTIES FOR HOTEL CANCELLATION? \nAll official hotels as recommended on the event page (Hotel Universel\, Travelodge\, Hotel Quartier & Laval University Residences) have confirmed that they would accept cancellations with no penalties. Please make sure to contact them now to confirm your cancellation. \nWHEN WE CANCEL OUR FLIGHTS\, WILL WE GET CREDIT FOR FUTURE FLIGHTS OR REFUNDS? \nThis depends on the airline and the type of ticket booked\, but in general full refunds are only offered on higher class fares. Air Canada is currently offering 100% credit on all their flights with no penalty fee\, including those booked in the lower economy fares\, which can in a lot of cases be used in the next 24 months. WestJet also offers 100% credit to a travel bank\, but is currently not offering this on flights that depart after April 30. It appears a pretty safe bet that they will change this eventually\, so our suggestion would be to wait until they do. \nWHEN WILL WE KNOW WHAT THE LOCATIONS ARE FOR NEXT YEAR’S EVENT? \nWe expect to be able to release this information before the end of April \n \nLIVE RESULTS\nWATCH LIVE!\nDownload the Panels Map Optional Figures Group for 13-15Please note that the Optional Figures Group for the 13-15 Figures event will be GROUP 3. \nSeagull\nPorpoise Continuous Spin 720° \nDownload the Panels Map  \n0000Days00Hrs00Min00Sec\nQUICK LINKS\n\n\n\nWhat\nHow\nNotes/Deadline\n\n\n\n\nTentative Schedule – Detailed Version – v2.1\nDownload Schedule\nAs of February 4\, 2020\n\n\nTentative Schedule – Simple Version – v2.1\nDownload Schedule\nAs of February 4\, 2020\n\n\nPre-Competition Training Pool Request\n(May 2\, 2020)\n\nComing Soon\n\n\n\n\nDraws and Results\n\n\n\nEvent\nTime\n \nResults\n\n\n\n\nTUE\, MAR 26\n\n\n\n\n\nJunior Solo Technical\n15:00 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nWED\, MAR 27\n\n\n\n\n\n13-15 Figures\n07:45 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\nRankings per figure\n\n\nSenior Duet Tech\n14:00 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nJunior Duet Tech\n15:00 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nSenior Solo Tech\n18:30 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nTHU\, MAR 28\n\n\n\n\n\nJunior Solo Free\n08:15 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nSenior Solo Free\n11:10 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nHighlight Team\n14:30 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\n13-15 Team Prelims\n15:00 EDT\nStart List\nDetailed\nCombined\n\n\nCombo\n18:45 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nFRI\, MAR 29\n\n\n\n\n\nJunior Duet Free\n08:15 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nSenior Duet Free\n10:45 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\n13-15 Solo\n12:15 EDT\nStart List\nSummary – Routine\nDetailed – Routine\nCombined\n\n\nSenior Team Tech\n17:45 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nJunior Team Tech\n18:00 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\nSAT\, MAR 30\n\n\n\n\n\n13-15 Mixed Duet\n08:30 EDT\n\nDetailed – Routine\nCombined\n\n\n13-15 Duet\n08:35 EDT\nStart List\nDetailed – Routine\nCombined\n\n\nJunior Team Free\n13:15 EDT\nStart List\nSummary\nDetailed\n\n\n13-15 Team\n17:00 EDT\nStart List\nSummary – Routine\nDetailed – Routine\nCombined\n\n\n\n\n\n \nGENERAL INFORMATION \n\n\n\nCompetition Dates\nPre-competition training: May 2\nSpacing: May 3\nCompetition: May 4-9\n\n\nRegistration Deadline\nApril 13\, 2020 at 11:59pm\n\n\nHosts\nCanada Artistic Swimming in partnership with Quebec Excellence Synchro and Natation Artistique Québec\n\n\nCAS Resource\nStéphane Côté\, Events & Communications Director\nstephane@artisticswimming.ca\n\n\nEvents\n13-15 – Figures\, Solo\, Duet\, Mixed Duet\, Team\n\n\nJunior – Solo Tech\, Solo Free\, Duet Tech.\, Duet Free\, Mixed Duet Tech\, Mixed Duet Free\, Team Tech\, Team Free\n\n\nSenior – Solo Tech\, Solo Free\, Duet Tech.\, Duet Free\, Mixed Duet Tech\, Mixed Duet Free\, Team Tech\, Team Free\n\n\nOpen – Combo\, Highlight Team\n\n\nRules\nThis competition will be conducted under Canada Artistic Swimming Rules\n\n\n\n\n \nPOOL & VENUE INFORMATION \n\n\n\nPool Information\nDesjardins Aquatic Centre – PEPS de l’Université Laval\n5827 Avenue du Séminaire\, Québec\, QC\n\n\nPool Specs\nCompetition Pool: 25m x 25m (10 lanes) x 3m deep\nWarmup Pool: 25m x 25m x 3m deep\n\n\nDeck Privileges\nOnly Coaches and Athletes registered for the Event will be allowed in change rooms and on deck. \nAll Coaches must have proper accreditations on them at all times\, and will be expected to have the proper level of certification as per rule 3.1.9 a): All coaches at the Qualifier/CASC must be fully certified at the Competition Development Level or NCCP Level 3.\n\n\nSecurity & Health Services\nTrained Lifeguards will be on deck at all times during the competition\n\n\n\n \nSCHEDULES \n\n\n\nCompetition Schedule – Detailed Version 2.1 (as of February 4\, 2020)\nDownload Schedule\n\n\nCompetition Schedule – Simple Version 2.1 (as of February 4\, 2020)\nDownload Schedule\n\n\n\n \nREGISTRATION\, FEES & PAYMENT \n\n\n\nEntry Deadline\nMonday\, April 13\, 2020 at 11:59pm EST\n\n\nEntry Submission Information\nAll registration and entries must be sent online using Canada Artistic Swimming’s Event Registration system.\n\n\nEntry Fees\n\n\n\n\nFigures\n$45\n\n\nSolo Tech\n$45\n\n\nSolo Free\n$45\n\n\nDuet Tech\n$95\n\n\nDuet Free\n$95\n\n\nTeam Tech\n$175\n\n\nTeam Free\n$175\n\n\nCombo & Highlight Team\n$205\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLate Entries\nOnce the deadline has passed\, changes can only be requested by email\, at registrar@artisticswimming.ca\, and will be subject to a late fee. \nAccording to CAS Rule\, 5.1.5 b)\, Each routine whose entry package has not been received or is incomplete by the stated deadline is automatically assessed a $25.00 fine.
