I've now steeped like a teabag in figure skating at the Regional Championships. Twelve hours a day for three days. Whew.
To put this in perspective, there are three levels of US competition: first, the Regionals, which cover the local areas (ours had skaters from Oregon, Washington, Montana, Alaska, Idaho, and Wyoming). The top four skaters go on to compete at the Sectionals (our sectional is being held in San Diego this year, covering the whole west coast). Then finally the US Nationals. The winners there will go on to the Worlds, and every four years there is this thing called "The Olympics." You might have heard of it.
