Where the data comes from

Official sources first. Counts are competitions in the seasons we cover.

Competition calendars

Federation and club calendars, competitions found there

News sites and Wikipedia gave 7 hints that helped us find competitions. A date that rests only on such a hint is marked as unconfirmed.

Official results

Where the protocols are published, competitions per site

Plus 7 more on other club and organizer sites. Every results page here links back to its protocol.

Announcements

Organizer announcements, usually PDFs, are read by AI and checked by a person before anything goes live. Entry deadlines, fees, contacts and the people named in official roles come from there.

Clubs and rinks

Club websites and federation member lists, with officials only as the club publishes them. Rink facts come from operators and tourist boards.

What we leave out

Pages that ask not to be read automatically: we link to them instead. Results that live only in an app, until the organizer shares them. Dates of birth, private contact details, and photos of skaters without consent.

Federations

Each country's calendar is our first source for its competitions.

All photos are from Wikimedia Commons, used under the licences below and cropped to fit.

Each photo is tagged with the rink or town it shows and is reused only for that place. A photo of a rink takes over from the town photo wherever both exist. Where there is neither, pages show a drawing of a rink or the town name instead.
