2016 Challenger Series Overview
SYWTW FS
The senior skating season kicks off with the Challenger Series in less than two weeks! Introduced in the 2014-15 season, the Challenger Series brings together several minor competitions in a series similar to the Grand Prix. It runs from September to December. Many skaters use Challenger competitions to warm up before their Grand Prix events. Scores recorded at Challenger competitions count for a skater’s season/personal best.
This post is only an overview; I will make separate posts before each competition with more detailed information and streaming links.
