About

IJSEdge

Read full description

Figure skating is one of the most data-rich sports in the world — and the most unreadable. Every IJS protocol publishes every element's base value, GOE, deductions, and per-judge breakdown. But the way it's published, you'd need a spreadsheet, a stopwatch, and an hour to figure out what the numbers actually say about your skater. IJSEdge fixes that. We ingest every IJS protocol from every U.S. Figure Skating competition — qualifying track and Excel pathway alike — and turn each skater's results into honest, plain-English arithmetic. For parents and skaters: See exactly where the points are slipping. Hidden Gains tiles tell you how many points your skater is leaving on the ice every event and which element is costing the most. Per-judge GOE breakdowns show you whether the calls are consistent across the panel. Move-Up Readiness is a composite signal — across percentile, Clean Skate Index, and consistency — for the conversation with your coach about whether it's time for the next level. For coaches: Free. No card, no plan to pick. Claim each skater you coach, share your IJSEdge referral link with their parents, and the moment a parent subscribes you see their full analytics — element by element, judge by judge, season over season. Same data as the paying parent, no watered-down coach edition. What's in the box: • Every U.S. Figure Skating competition indexed, updated weekly. • Element-by-element analytics on every skater with public protocol data. • Hidden Gains, Element ROI, Move-Up Readiness, Personal Best tracking. • Per-judge GOE breakdown for every event with judge detail. • Live competition updates during scoring. • Achievements: 132 badges across jumps, spins, footwork, program quality, consistency. • Two-party verification for coach + parent claims — privacy by design. Pricing: Free to browse — anyone can look up any skater. Paid analytics for parents and skaters: Skater $4.99/mo (one skater), Family $8.99/mo (up to 4 skaters in one household). Coaches are always free. Built by a skating dad whose daughter has competed on both the qualifying track and the Excel pathway. We're not VC-backed. We're not trying to disrupt the sport. We're just trying to make the protocols you already paid for actually mean something. --- Subscriptions IJSEdge offers two auto-renewing subscription plans: • Skater — $4.99/month or $39/year • Family — $8.99/month or $79/year Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase.

You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iOS device.
