On the initiative of the Deutsche Eislauf Union (DEU), we submitted an application for an "ISU-listed competition" in the spring of 2022 to replace the previous simple "InterClub" competition "NRW Trophy for synchronized Skating". The "NRW Trophy for synchronized Skating" we have been organizing in Neuss for 10 years. 

ISU competitions are advertised worldwide by the ISU and this is where the world's top teams start.

The International Skating Union (ISU) is the worldwide, international umbrella organization for figure skating,

The ISU is the oldest winter sports federation and is a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is based in Lausanne.

We have now received the good news that the ISU accepted our application at the last executive meeting and the "Cup of Neuss" is now listed on the list of the world's top ISU competitions.

We applied for this application under the new name "Cup of Neuss for synchronized skating", so the NRW-SYS Trophy no longer exists.
