Competitions

This season, the series included the following events.[1][2]

On July 22, 2019, the International Skating Union revoked the Chinese Taipei Skating Union's right to host the Asian Open Figure Skating Classic, scheduled to be held in Taipei, Taiwan. The event was replaced with the Hong Kong Skating Union's Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy.[3] The Sports Administration of the Republic of China ordered the removal of Chinese Taipei Skating Union Secretary-General Eddy Wu for mishandling this situation.[4] The Sports Administration also suspended funding of the Chinese Taipei Skating Union for one year.[5]
