With the last few cancellations and postponements, 2020 comes to a close this week as far as international competitions.

In terms of the Challenger Series, 8 events were held, 1 was cancelled (Nepela Memorial) and 1 lost the Challenger status because of lack of competitors (Asian Open).
Pairs had 5 Challengers (Autumn Classic, Nebelhorn, Finlandia, Warsaw and Golden Spin). Women and Ice Dance had 8 Challengers, while Men only 7 because only Canadian men were competed at Autumn Classic.
