This is the qualifying competition for the 2019 Canadian Championships in novice, junior, and senior (pre novices don't compete at nationals, so the winners of the challenge are declared national champions).
Event is November 28 to December 2.

Schedule as of November 20: https://skatecanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/2019-Challenge-Block-Schedule-FINAL-.pdf
The start lists are posted, but I can't seem to link to it directly.
There will be live streaming on Daily Motion.
Qualifying structure: https://skatecanada.ca/athletes/qualifying-structure1/
18 singles, 15 dance, and 12 pairs qualify for nationals. For senior, there aren't enough entries in dance or pairs to eliminate anyone, so I think everyone qualifies.
In singles for senior men, Messing, Nguyen, Reynolds, Sadovsky, and Nadeau have byes via top 3 at last years nationals and/or having a senior grand prix. Gogolev has a bye for making junior grand prix final. So the top 12 from challenge (not including Nguyen and Reynolds who are entered) will qualify for nationals.
For senior women, Daleman, Austman, Chartrand, Pineault, and Mallet have byes via top 3 last year and/or senior grand prix assignment (I assume/hope Mallet gets to keep her bye as she recovers from injury). That means top 13 from challenge (not including Austman and Pineault who are entered) will qualify for nationals.
Start orders for nationals are based on results from qualifying (at least for seniors). Skaters with byes skate in reverse order of placement last year, so I think the last group of men for the short at nationals will be Gogolev, Nadeau, Sadovsky, Reynolds, Nguyen, and Messing (from memory - please correct if I'm wrong).
For women, the last five to skate would be Mallet (she has no nationals placement), Pineault, Chartrand, Austman, and Daleman - and the winner of the challenge will skate first in the final flight of the short (or should I say highest finisher apart from Austman and Pineault). So to me that adds to the intrigue of this event - especially with Daleman and Mallet's status questionable.
