2015 Challenger Series: An Overview
SYWTW FS
The Challenger Series, introduced in the 2014-15 season, brings together several B competitions in a series similar to the Grand Prix. It runs from September to December. Many skaters use Challenger competitions as warm-ups before their Grand Prix events. Scores recorded at Challenger competitions count for a skater’s season’s/personal best.
This post is only an overview; I will make separate posts before each week’s competitions with more detailed information and streaming links.
