Qualifying
U.S. Figure Skating implemented a new qualifying structure beginning from the 2019–20 season.[2] Competitors qualified through the National Qualifying Series (NQS), Regional (singles) and Sectional (pairs/ice dance) Challenges, and Sectional (singles) and U.S. (pairs/ice dance) Finals, held from June to November 2019, or earned a bye. The NQS is not mandatory, but the top six singles athletes in each section may earn a bye to the Sectional Singles Final, and the top three teams/couples in pairs and ice dance may earn a bye to the U.S. Final in their respective disciplines.[3] The top four finishers at the Sectional Finals (singles) and the top twelve finishers at the U.S. Finals (pairs/ice dance) earned a spot at the National Figure Skating Championships.
Juvenile, intermediate, and novice skaters qualified for the National High Performance Development Team and Camp in lieu of participating at U.S. Championships.
