2016 Team Challenge Cup: Info & Streaming
SYWTW FS
The 2015-16 season will soon close with the inaugural Team Challenge Cup, an invitational event taking place in Spokane, WA, USA from April 22-24. Skaters will compete as part of Team Europe, Team North America or Team Asia. Each team will consist of 3 men, 3 ladies, 2 pairs and 2 dance teams. Singles skaters will compete in a separate short program competition that does not carry over to the free skate. Pairs/ice dancers will compete with their free skates only, and their results will carry over to the singles free skates, which will then determine the final winners. Rockerskating has a more detailed explanation of the competition format here.
