Parker Point System

The Parker Point System is a method used by ice rink officials to assess the difficulty of performing tricks or maneuvers on ice, often in figure skating or hockey. It assigns points based on the complexity, skill, and risk involved in each move. Higher scores indicate more challenging or impressive jumps, spins, or moves, helping judges, coaches, and performers measure progress and set goals. Essentially, it’s a standardized way to quantify the technical difficulty of ice skating elements, promoting consistency and fairness in evaluating performances.
