2025 Trialeti Trophy: General Info and Pregame Chat

@dorispulaski I'm not seeing any changes from the linked schedule on the OP and Main page compared to the Results page?
 
The changes I had were from the first schedule before all the WD's. They have updated both the current schedule and the schedule embedded in the detailed Results page.

I will continue to be checking against the results page, particularly the schedule for each skater which has not yet been posted, and won't be until after the draw.

I want people to be sure and check the time again; I would not want them to miss their stream.
 


£22.06 plus bank conversion charges. I'm sorry, but it's just not affordable for me this year. It's so disappointing and for the first time Tayside Trophy in Dundee also charging when it used to be free on YouTube. This getting beyond a joke! Don't they realise there's a cost of living crisis and food, energy and everything has gone up hugely?!

Ice Stars need to bring in an annual or monthly subscription which gives us access to all the Challengers and minor events they are now covering. Who can afford £20 per comp. It's ridiculous! 😭 😩🥺

I too am disappointed about the Trialeti Trophy and the Tayside Trophy both being behind the paywall. I would have wanted to watch as much as possible of both.

But, at least Junior GP in Abu Dhabi and the other two British events being held this week (the Blackburn Trophy for Solo Dance and the October Qualifier for Singles and Pairs) are free on YouTube.

Junior GP Abu Dhabi channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SkatingISU
Blackburn Trophy channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wonderice8782
October Qualifier channel: https://www.youtube.com/@britishiceskating

So, they could be free alternatives.

Still think it is ridiculous that the British Fed have allowed so many significant events to be held at the same time.

The clubs allow it and the price is high because the clubs get about half the take.

IMO The only way to stop this is for the ISU to take the whole broadcast business over.
If ISU is sincere about wanting to grow the sport, there should be free ISU livestreams for the challengers. People can't get invested in skaters if they can only see them competing live at a championship or a grand prix, which severely limits the skaters that are even given exposure.

If that means ISU has to cover the potential livestream profit a club can make in order to make it free for the fans then so be it. Could have spent the funding allocated for their ISU app on this instead
 
I had already taken her out of my predictions...but I'll wait a bit before editing again. I don't like this hussle. Nobody's fault here of course!

4 Lara Naki GUTMANN ITA 202.51 - returned and she is in Entries/Results after Team Leaders Meeting.

@gsk8 - just alerting you as this is significant for the Predictions.

I was going to post mine now, but in light of this, I'll wait until the morning to post them.

@CaroLiza_fan Gutmann will not be competing. She was sick recently and didn't have time to recover.

Thank you for the definitive confirmation of her status. I thought it was a bit strange somebody being removed and then re-added, so that is why I decided it would be better to wait.

I don't know what is going on this season, but it is so hard to keep up with the entries of the events we are running predictions on. I can't remember it ever being as bad as this before.

With this in mind, you're doing a great job in trying to keep on top of it all. :bow: :clap: :points:

Thank you again.

:thank:
