I’d like to know more about this event—who’s competing (will there be international competitors?), time schedule, etc. I don’t see anything yet on the USFS site. If anyone has info, please do share. Thank you!

Skating Club of New York's website has a work-in-progress drop-down menu for the Nicks event.

Although information has not been added yet, URLs have been created there for Schedule and Entries and Results.

Also worth keeping an eye on is what seems will be the USFS results URL:

Thank you ice coverage!

Thank you ice coverage!

You're welcome.

Ooops, I just now have corrected the SCNY Entries and Results URL in my previous post. (Fixing my accidental repetition of the schedule url.)
The Entries and Results URL (from the drop-down menu) is giving an error message at present, but I hope that will change sooner or later.

A couple of crumbs re scheduling, FWIW:

From the *subject-to-change* entryeeze schedules for 2021 Middle Atlantics (the club competition):

West Rink - Thu, Sep 9, 2021
10:00 AM to 6:45 PM John Nicks Pairs Challenge

West Rink - Fri, Sep 10, 2021
8:00 AM to 5:05 PM John Nicks Pairs Challenge​

If the general idea remains true that the Nicks competition will be ending relatively early in the evenings (as opposed to during later nighttime hours), maybe that will be of note to @Seven Sisters or others who are considering the possibility of in-person attendance.
(My two cents are that I suspect that the Nicks events [senior and junior] will not have a high enough number of entries to mean that practices/warm-ups/competition in total really would take up as many hours as the totals shown on the schedule. Just my opinion.)​

Meanwhile, for those who like singles skating too, Mids have been known in the past to include some U.S. entries who have competed internationally and/or at Nats.
Plus coaches and spectators who fit the same description.
Without knowing who specifically will be at 2021 Mids, I think that the club competition (as well as the Nicks international) potentially could have some good opportunities for competition-watching plus people-watching.

ETA (on Sep 7):

Update: "No spectators allowed."

Without mentioning the Nicks event by name, Spencer Howe last night gave a clear indication that Chan/Howe plan to compete here. ​

Is there any word on this competition allowing spectators? I assumed they were but the almost complete lack of information oriented towards spectators (no public entry list two days before the event, no ticket information listed, etc) is making me wonder.

"No spectators allowed" is what I am seeing today, per this link for competitors/officials/coaches/volunteers/chaperones:

Get your health pass for the 95th Annual Middle Atlantic Figure Skating Championships and the John Nicks Pairs Challenge

www.azova.com

The link is from the home page of SCNY. (Newly added there, AFAIK. IIRC, I had looked at the page earlier today, and the link was not there yet?)

I too had hoped to attend as a spectator. That said, I respect that safety is being prioritized.

Thank you for the update. Disappointing but understandable. I hope there will be a stream available at least.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Here’s hoping that this becomes an annual event and that by this time next year, we will all be able to attend this competition (and others) in person. Pairs are awesome!

Does anyone know if the live stream is only available to those in the USA?

I don't think that streaming is a trusted one or safe one, beware until we have an official word about streaming from the website

Many times there are supposed streams for sporting events but are not related at all and could potentially be scam sites

I really would like to know who will be competing at this challenge. It starts tomorrow, We've got all the necessary links (thanks @ice coverage ) but I just get the response that the competition hasn't started yet. I know that! I just want to know the entries, not the results. Those will come eventually.

It’s strange because the entries are up on the page for Middle Atlantics. I guess sometime tomorrow we’ll find out?

The starting order for Jr pairs is up with 6 teams, starting at 1:50 pm. That's all we have for now, and that stream seems worthy of *red flag* warning.

 

[Andrea82]

Senior entry list is up.
12 pairs. From at 5 countries, I think.

Are there any signs of live streaming? The given link requires registration and I do not think it is reliable.

I feel like I need the old "there are no stupid questions" thread. Here goes: how can you (and others have said much the same thing) tell that a stream seems worthy of "red flag" warning?

I hasten to add that I Really, Really appreciate posts like this, because I suppose I must be tone deaf when it comes to such a thing. I'm always in a quandary when asked to subscribe to something ... so for this information!

I don’t always know myself (far from it) but in this case the fact that streaming is not even mentioned on the Skating Club of NY site is a big red flag.
