In competition, three figures are used (they are often the counter, paragraph bracket and paragraph loop-see diagram). Each skater performs alone on the ice. Each may have some reference point in the rink-a pillar or sign-to help line up the dimensions of the figure, but the only reliable road maps are images programmed into sinew and synapses through years of etching the pattern in outlines of frost...

Dartmouth and Cornell evened their seasonal marks, powering their way in the winners' bracket with a pair of non-league triumphs...
