3010 Nonqualifying Competitions-Events
3013 Singles and Pairs:

C. In singles, girls and boys may compete against each other at the pre-juvenile level and lower.

3040 Nonqualifying Competitions - Entries
3045 At non qualifying competitions, if only one eligible competitor/team enters and event,:
A. For pre-juvenile and lower level singles events, such competitors will be allowed to compete in an event against skaters of the opposite gender, with the consent of the one eligible competitor.
B. Should the skaters choose not to compete against skaters of the opposite gender, and for all levels and disciplines not covered in rule 3045 (A), the entry fee will be refunded, and the event will be cancelled.

Rationale: To allow boys who often rarely have the opportunity to skate in actual free skate competition the opportunity to compete against other competitors.

Financial impact: Perhaps a small increase in revenue due to increased entries from boys who do not want to perform only in exhibitions.
