Our 2024 Greater Chicagoland Fall Invitational NON-QUALIFYING Competition is OPEN and accepting registrations until we reach capacity OR the deadline of 8/1, whichever comes first!

Planning for test credit at GCFI? You can purchase your test packet through EMS while the competition registration is open. Simply "add an event" and choose miscellaneous - "Test Credit/Free Skate" if your level is eligible for IJS Protocol Test Credit. This is a particularly great time for Excel Series athletes to get a test in after their season!

Members, PLEASE mark your calendar to volunteer at GCFI September 5-8. We can't make events happen without everyone's help... and NQS years are especially big and exciting! Family members and friends are always welcome to help, too, and can make the experience even more memorable! Come make a difference and build connections to the club and other skaters and families!

The 2024 Greater Chicagoland Fall Invitational will take place September 6-8, 2024 at the Robert Crown Community Center, Evanston, IL. Once again, this competition will be part of the National Qualifying Series for Singles and Pairs. In addition, we will be offering non-qualifying events for the lower levels including well balanced pre-preliminary through Open Juvenile, Excel, Adults, and Aspire 1-4.

Registration for both portions of the competition is through the U.S. Figure Skating website (EMS). Note that there are two different portals to register. NQS – 2024 Greater Chicagoland Fall Invitational is where you will enter Singles and Pairs Juvenile through Senior levels. To enter the non-qualifying events, go to 2024 Greater Chicagoland Fall Invitational Non-Qualifying Competition.

Entries are open NOW for the non-qualifying events. Entries open on July 10, 2024 at 11:00am CENTRAL time for the NQS events.

Don’t miss out!  Entries will close for both portions when capacity is met which may be BEFORE the published final deadline. Come join us in Evanston!

And speaking of joining us… we can't make big events like this happen without everyone's volunteer assistance. Family members and friends are always welcome to volunteer, too, and can make the experience even more memorable! Come make a difference and build connections to the club and other skaters and families! We can't wait to see everyone in September!
