[edit] US Marshalls (Skating)
Non-notable figure skating competition. Marshalls Winter Event is what is commonly (and disparagingly) known to figure skating fans as a "cheesefest". It is a non-qualifying competition that does not matter except for TV ratings and so the skaters can make some money. It's a popularity contest, pure and simple, and its format, if you can call it one, depends entirely on what the TV executives want. It is not judges or scored by ISU rules and it is not a figure skating competition. It is a figure skating tv show, like Brian Boitano's Skating Spectular or Kurt Browning's Gotta Skate. The only difference is that this one has eligible skaters and pretends to be a competition. It should be noted that the spring event sponsored by Marshalls has given up the pretext of being a competition and has been just a showcase for the past two seasons.
