  1. You have to remember to put your weight on your little toe and try to lean that way. When combined with a spin, there's lots of different ways to transfer from one edge to the other. I know its a bit late for this competition, but you have to try all the different methods ( sticking your toe-pick in the ice and pushing off backwards, placing your foot down and starting the spin using the momentum you had from the previous...etc)

    sorry if I confused you in any way :)

    good luck


  2. Remember--spin on an outside edge, stand up straight and tall, and when you're going into your spin, extend your free leg slightly until you feel balanced. Pull it in once you feel balanced, and remember to pull your arms in, too.

    Otherwise, that's all I can really suggest. Good luck with your competition!
