Anyone heading to the indy challenger this year? Whats the deal with it. Isnt it supposed to be a pretty good event.

Indy Challenge is the big annual event for pairs, where teams that weren't assigned an international can, if they skate well, be assigned one of the remaining spots. It's pairs-only, although some years they've done solo dance also. I competed in solo dance a few years ago and had a great time; if it's local for you, definitely go watch (although be warned- like any other competition, there will be some weaker teams competing at a higher level than they probably should be, and watching these teams in pairs requires a certain amount of fortitude).

They actually do offer regular dance events too (or at least did up to last year; haven't looked at the announcement this year), but almost no one goes because it's too close to Lake Placid. You might see a few new or young teams there who weren't ready for LP. The 2 comps used to be spaced farther apart, and then it was a pretty big dance comp too. Now, as CanAmSk8ter says, it's almost all pairs.

Hello

This year they have added an Adult Pair event. I am hoping to attend and participate with my partner. That would make three teams competing.

Cheers!

Thanks for the replies. I know of three teams that will be there and I am flying up to Indiana to visit with family anyway and wanted to get a chance to watch them skate.

Is it just seniors or will they have other levels as well>

They have all levels, down to the little cuties who kind of skate around hand in hand & call it pairs.
