Ashley Wagner posted on her Instagram that she is competing at something called the Aurora Games in Albany, NY, August 20-25. I went searching and found info: https://www.timesunioncenter-albany.com/aurora-games
An all-women's comp, featuring multiple sports. The figure skating comp will take place August 24 and is a team format (sounds kind of like the old Ice Wars format). No mention of any other skaters besides Ashley. If it is not sanctioned by USFS (my guess is it isn't), there wouldn't be any currently competing skaters. Will be interesting to see who else they get.
Tickets go on sale on Friday through Ticketmaster but Ashley has a presale code listed: FIGUREAG. Nothing on the website about a TV/webcast network - I'm hoping it will be shown somewhere.
The explanation of the origin:
Jerry Solomon is Nancy Kerrigan's husband/agent. I don't see her competing, but who knows.

The explanation of the origin:
The Aurora Games were conceived of and created by Jerry Solomon. Mr. Solomon has been one of America's top sports marketing executives for more than 30 years. The Aurora Games, named in honor of the Roman goddess of the dawn, will be held every two years beginning with the inaugural edition at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY, August 20-25, 2019.
