This is not a Challenger event but I think we can add to the discussion because it's a weird competition:

 

Shanghai Trophy: November 24–26

Annoucement

 

Basically a competition that will take place at the same time as Skate America (in which Boyang is scheduled to participate) and which entries are supposed to be by invitation as follows:

 

 

I'm sure quite a few of the top skaters/couples of each category will be declining this, including Boyang! but I guess if you're not expected to make it to the GPF, you might as well sneak another competition in?

 

Can we talk about other small international competitions here, too? Cup of Nice, Nordics, Volvo Open, Merano Cup and many more...

I don't see a problem with it. I can amend the title to refer to other competitions as well and add a table for those as necessary.

Thank you 

Challenger series predictions are usually easy, because there's usually one star skater, and one or two mid-level ones. This year seems to be an exception...Olympics season...everyone's getting their senior Bs in... 

My predictions!

 

Event	Men	Ladies
U.S. International Classic	1. N. Chen 2. T. Mura 3. M. Aaron	1. K. Chen 2. M.Nagasu 3. M. Honda
Lombardia Trophy	1. S.Uno 2-3. Whoever lands a quad between: D. Vasiljevs, J. Brown, S. Voronov	1. A. Zagitova 2. C. Kostner 3a. W. Higuchi (if she's clean) 3b. E.Tuktamysheva (if she lands her 3a) 3c. L. Lecavelier ('coz I like her /LOL/)
Autumn Classic		1. M. Mihara 2. K. Osmond 3. E. Tursynbaeva
Ondrej Nepela Trophy	1. M. Kolyada 2. D. Aliev 3. K. Tanaka	1. E. Medvedeva 2. E. Radionova 3. R. Hongo (pleeeease...)
Nebelhorn Trophy	1. P. Chan /LOL/ 2-3. Anyone's game	1. Kailani Craine 2-3. Dunno anyone else
Finlandia Trophy	1. B. Jin 2. M. Kolyada 3. V. Zhou	1. C. Kostner 2. G. Daleman 3. E.Tuktamysheva

 

I forgot Gabby was at Finlandia!  Going to amend my predictions.

Update: I've added a few non-Challenger competitions to a table on Other Competitions. Slovenia Open happened this past weekend, so I've also added results to that competition.

Updated with revised Lombardia Trophy schedule.

So, next week we don't have a Junior Grand Prix Series competition but we have two very good Senior B competitions. Great!

My predictions for men and ladies:

 

U.S. International Classic

 

Men

1. Nathan Chen

2. Max Aaron

3. Takahito Mura

 

Ladies

 

1. Marin Honda

2. Mirai Nagatsu

3. Kaori Sakamoto

 

Lombardia Trophy

 

Men

1. Shoma Uno

2. Jason Brown

3. Serghei Voronov

 

Ladies

1. Alina Zagitova

2. Wakaba Higuchi

3. Elisaveta Tuktamysheva

A calendar of all the Senior competitions of the season, including Challenger series, Grand Prix and other smaller competitions. Good for planning and seeing how MANY competitions overlap each other these coming months.

I'll link to it in the master post.

Going to have to check to see if this didn't break all my links. 

 

ETA: It did. *insert curse words*

New ISU site = super slow to load because of all the new crap they changed to make it even less functional.
