USFS' National Qualifying Series (NQS) of competitions returns this year and will run from July to September. "The NQS is a series of competitions hosted individually by member clubs nationwide, in which athletes enter and earn a score. They will earn a placement in the individual competition they enter, an overall ranking in their level and a regional (singles) and sectional ranking."

List of NQS competitions: https://www.usfigureskating.org/sit...files/USFA_NatQualifySeries_Calendar_2022.jpg

I plan to track the bigger club competitions (that include ISP skaters) before NQS starts, such as Broadmoor Open (scheduled for June 27-July 1) that includes the Peggy Fleming Trophy (will create a separate thread in the future) and the Aerial (Jump) Challenge on Thursday, June 30.

===

The Margaret Faulkner Springtime Invitational, May 19-22, in Ann Arbor, Michigan is being livestreamed in 2 rinks (on demand videos are not available) -- event info with links: http://www.krphotogs-direct.com/Margaret-Faulkner-2022/
Starting orders/Live results page: https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30406/index.asp

Intermediate Ladies FS is underway in the Stadium Rink with the final 2 events in that rink today being Junior Women SP (5:15 pm ET start) & Senior Women SP (7:05 pm ET start) with Elsa Cheng & Hannah Lofton (both in ISP), plus some notable Canadian skaters (Roccatani, Karon, Kleinman in Sr., Hewitt & Woodley in Jr. SP & Baltzer in Jr. FS only) included.

The Olympic Rink will have Men's events in the late afternoon/evening (eta: Kori Ade is with Antonio Monaco who made his junior international & Team USA debut at Egna Spring Trophy) and the Senior Pairs FS (Plazas/Fernandez have a program set to music from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) is scheduled for 8 pm ET.
I caught Valentina Plazas/Maximiliano Fernandez's SP debut to West Side Story (incl. "Maria") yesterday and I enjoyed their performance (looked like they watered down some tech. content to focus on choreography).

Norway's Senior ice dance team -- Maria Bjorkli & James Koszuta (competed for Team USA on JGP with Jocelyn Haines in 2017 & 2018; he received his release back in June 2020) - debuted a Phantom of the Opera FD yesterday - link to their joint IG account: https://www.instagram.com/bjorkli_koszuta_icedancers/

I‘m not sure is it appropriate to post here…but does anyone have any information of this year’s Chesapeake Open？It begins in 2 days and I think the Peals are going per their IG.
Are the entries out and is there a livestream？

"Unfortunately due to the loss of sponsorship, the Aerial challenge will be cancelled for this year. This is not a permanent cancellation. We are in hopes of obtaining a new sponsor and moving forward to next year."

I'm trying to find out if there will be a (paid) livestream available this year.

Senior RD starting order:
1. Murphy & Levitt
2. Koncius & Shchepetov
3. Zingas & Kolesnik
4. Hertenstein & Binkowski
Click to expand...
Only 2 Senior teams competed in the RD earlier today at Chesapeake: http://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30425/CAT009SEG020.html
A tweeted fan cam of Zingas/Kolesnik's RD (in 2 parts) is linked in the U.S. Dance news thread in GSD: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...ason-news-updates.108446/page-27#post-6268649
Looks like 2 other teams (the new team of Leah Krauskopf/YuanShi Jin & Murphy/Levitt) will compete in the Senior FD (separate event) tomorrow: http://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30425/CAT043SEG069.html
Koncius/Shchepetov are the only team competing in Senior combined FD on Friday: http://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30425/CAT009SEG021.html

Adorable photo of the Juvenile Dance medalists :): https://www.instagram.com/p/CfKxdDzrXdn/
Winners were Rylen Lukanin (daughter of Igor & Kristen Fraser-Lukanin) & Patrick O'Brien.
This Instagram account is posting podium and other backstage photos.

ETA:

Israel's Mark Gorodnitsky (3A, 3F+3T, 3Lz) & Canada's Alec Guinzbourg (3A, 3Lz+3T, 3Lo, no points for final spin) respectively won the Senior & Junior Men's SP in Lake Placid on Thursday.

Final placements:

Junior FD:
1. Carhart & Horovyi
2. Pham & Rogers
3. Hauer & Starr
4. The Peals
5. Bland & Sperry
6. Epps & Gilman
7. L'Esperance & Amdour
8. Chen & Liu
9. Larson & Young
10. Melillo & Chen
11. Shadid & Shadid
12. O'Brien & Wei

Top 2 teams split dances, as did 5-8.

(That's a good finish for Pham & Rogers and Hauer & Starr, I think. Why is it that the only team I would have particularly liked to see go to MIDA, the Peals, is not the team going, hmm? I mean it would be so much more convenient if one could just pick up all the ice dancers and put them exactly where & with whom one wants. I would find someone for Lorraine also, if I had this magical power. Probably, I would give her Eremenko. Then, let's see, I would put Bronsard with Bruce Waddell. And . . . the wishes-were-horses-game is never very productive).

Koncius & Shchepetov are the only senior team that skated an FD. (ETA: For the combined event).

2 other teams -- Leah Krauskopf/YuanShi Jin (new) & Cara Murphy/Joshua Levitt competed in the separate Senior FD event today: http://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30425/CAT043SEG069.html

In Lake Placid, Mark Gorodnitsky (ISR) won the Senior Men's SP (79.54) and FS (125.56) events with Canada's Bruce Waddell 2nd in both & Jack Dushenski 3rd in both.
Junior Men top 3 in FS today: Lucius Kazanecki, who won the Novice bronze at Challenge Skate in Norwood, MA in Sept. 2021, was 3rd in the SP (60.16) and won the FS (107.12), with Jonathan Hildebrandt 2nd (97.46) and Kirk Haugeto (97.33) 3rd (Kirk won the Adv. Novice silver at 2022 Egna Spring Trophy in his Team USA debut).
 
I can’t seem to find out who will be skating in the Peggy Fleming Trophy or the aerial challenge this week in Colorado Springs. Thinking of driving down to watch. Anyone with information would be greatly appreciated!

Aerial Challenge is not being held this year (refer to post #12); entries for the Peggy Fleming Trophy are not yet published online. I hope you can attend on Wednesday, @mtnskater!

I've received confirmation that Broadmoor Open is not being livestreamed. :( Maybe USFS' Fan Zone will livestream Peggy Fleming Trophy or at least make it available to watch on demand like they have the past 2 years?

Per https://wifsc.com/skate-milwaukee-tentative-schedule-of-events/ it seems that USFS is holding their Junior Cup for ISP singles skaters again this year at Skate Milwaukee (July 8th and 9th for the junior cup programs). I really enjoyed this competition last year and its results were a pretty good predictor for initial JGP assignments.

A bit more information on the Wisconsin FSC site: https://wifsc.com

Start orders/results (nothing yet): https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30661/index.asp

I'm really eager to see which skaters have been invited to compete in the junior cup!

It seems there will be a livestream again this year, which is great news!

Neset/Markelov were the only Junior dance team: https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30504/CAT012SEG038.html

I'll try & post a few summer comp. notes/comments that I've been compiling, either in this thread and/or in relevant GSD threads, later (in the next few days).

The bad news is that it's not free this year: https://www.chicagostarproductions.com/pay-per-view-live-video-streaming

I bought the "3 day pass" for $25 which appears to allow access for all 5 days (links for watching Wednesday through Sunday are displayed on my page and Wednesday's is streaming live now).

Since the livestream is not free :( I won't start a separate competition thread for now... but maybe I will for the Junior Cup?
