Can any tell me what "Rule 11" is and how it works in competition results? I recently was at a comp. and a result was determinded by Rule 11. What is that?

I cannot say I am sure exactly how the rule works, but in terms of a competition I know it involves couples involved in a tie in scores from the judges e.g. for 2nd place.

If you are really interested, you should read up on the "Skating" system of marking.

You should try a search for "Skating system rules"

Those of faint heart should not bother!

As QS7 said, it is a countback scheme resolving couples who tie for a place.

it would be difficult to comment on individual cases without seeing the score sheets.

I was once asked to consider learning the system. I wonder if there is a demand for scrutineers?
