Belatedly occurs to me that I should have mentioned (although the FB post did not): Winners of the Broadmoor Open jump events (junior and senior levels) also qualify for Aerial Challenge.
Has anyone seen an entry list for the PF Trophy? Rather frustrating that the list of entries is out for the Aerial Challenge yet nada for the artistic event. Makes me wonder if there's a problem or it's a sign of priorities...
Can someone explain how exactly the challenge works? this will be my first year watching it

Interesting how there's no -3Lo combo at all, unless someone does something like 3Lz-3T-3Lo or 3T-3T-3Lo...
And in the championship round, for ladies, there's no combo at all?
Last year, they had “guest judges”, some of the whom knew less about jumps than I do, and held up “10” cards for almost anything that was a skid-across-the-ice fall. Yes, they held up cards.
Well, the "guest judges" shouldn't disappoint you this year, el henry. Josh's jumps were so textbook perfect...
