ETA: https://www.facebook.com/AerialFigureSkatingChallenge/posts/711696542366114
Name: The Aerial Figure Skating Team Challenge (AFSTC)
Where: Broadmoor Open, Colorado Springs, Colorado
When: Saturday, June 24, 2017
Format:
Teams will consist of one captain, 2 ladies, 2 men, 1 pair team and 1 wild card entry selected from the skaters who place in the top 3 at the AFSC. The AFSC event will be held on Friday, June 23. The AFSTC will be held Saturday, June 24.
Each team, under the direction of the team captain, will create their own name.
The captains for the inaugural event will be Jeremy Abbott, Ryan Bradley and Tim Dolensky. They were chosen as captains because they will each represent their team in the back-flip division. As Team Captains, they will select the singles skaters and pair team in a draft held before June 1 based on the entries received at that time.
On the day of the event, each skater will demonstrate various aerial skills (jumps, throws, twist and back flips) according to a skating order during two rounds of competition.
A panel of celebrity judges (including former U.S. champions) will score each skill performed based on a scale of 1-10. There is no base value assigned to each element. Rather the judges will score based on difficulty, quality and personal flair.
No programs/choreography will be used for the event. Music will be used for the warm up. Skaters may create a playlist and submit this to be played when they are performing their skills if they choose.
Team Prize Money:
Total Prize Money: $30,000; prize money is split between the team
- 1st - $15,000
- 2nd - $10,000
