[1998] [1997] [1996] [1995] [1994]



Each year this competition is sponsored by Northwest Mutual Life insurance and is held in the United States. It consists of teams from the US, Canada, Russia, and a combined European team competing in technical and artistic programs for the highest score. In 1996, pairs did not compete and there will be no ice dancers on the teams this year. The first year the competition was held (1994), scores were tallied by combining the scores of the man and pair, and also the lady and the dance team. After 1994, scoring became individual.
