LFL Guidelines:
All SW themed events with Major and Minor league teams are now considered OPEN INVITES. This means we do not have to cast and teams do not have to pay performers. Teams must welcome all fan groups on a first come basis and cannot ask for specific characters or specific amounts. They can set a maximum limit based on accommodations. Open Invites are just that: an invitation to fan groups to show up at an event in costume. Teams cannot direct fan group members to do any activities or be anywhere specific at any specific time – they may provide the groups with a list of activities to self-organize and participate in, but it is at fan group members’ own discretion. We strongly prefer that characters not throw out first pitches, participate in puck drops, sing the National Anthem or things of that nature – if they want, fan group members may escort a child or fan to the mound, etc., but must not be directed to do so. Characters should not hold, wear, sit in or stand on any branded item or logo, especially with a team emblem. The fan groups are welcome to be photographed with others wearing the team logo/brands or in front of signage featuring the team logo/brand, however. We strongly suggest that teams provide a handler/security for costumed fans during activities to ensure the safety and security of said costumed fans, to protect them from overzealous game attendees. Costumed fan groups must be referred to as members from their respective fan groups, and not as official SW/Disney/Lucasfilm characters.
Please note that if you or your club members require a handler or handlers at the event, you must provide them yourself and not rely on handlers from other clubs to fulfill this responsibility.

high altitude competition
2025-02-22 11:00 - 16:00 | skating oval, 5662 S Cougar lane, salt lake city, UT, 84118, United States
Our theme, “Galaxy of Stars,” perfectly embodies the limitless potential of these young athletes. Star Wars is a saga about overcoming challenges and reaching greatness, making it a perfect metaphor for our young figure skaters just starting their journey. Like the characters in the movie, who face adversity and grow through it, our skaters are learning and improving with each practice. Their path, much like Luke Skywalker’s, is about resilience, teamwork, and believing in themselves. As they aim for their first gold medal, they embody the spirit of perseverance and courage that defines the Star Wars universe.
significant skating competition with all age and ability groups with approx 3000 attendees

If the timing works, they would like some for photo ops and help handing out awards.
