Twelve figure skating teams from around the Southeast, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas, competed in this three-day event. This is the world's oldest recreational figure skating competition held under the auspices of the international Ice Skating Institute. This is a team event, where each placement is assigned a point value, and the team with the highest placements in the most events wins. Skaters competed in several different categories, including Freestyle events (based on skating level), Ice Dancing, Footwork, Stroking, Spotlight, Artistic, and Synchronized Skating. There was even a competition between adult skating teams -- the Moms On Ice and One Pop (Alpine Ice Arena, Louisville KY) and the Wondering, Wandering Stars (Robert Unger School, Knoxville TN). Second place honors went to the Wilcoxon Ice Complex of Hunstville, Alabama, and the Owensboro Ice Arena of Owensboro, Kentucky won third place.
