Glad that the ladies will find their medals 2nd out of 4. At Boston last year, the ladies were dead last in finding their medals

If this happens again this time, Medvedeva will be the winner again. But I guess that's not a surprise at all...
Or Kaetlyn Osmond.

Seeding is supposed to be done by ordering skaters by World Ranking, and splitting them into two approximately equal groups "skate earlier" and "skate later". With uneven numbers of skaters, the extra skater is put into "skate later" In the "skate later" group, the highest ranking skaters have a draw for the last warmup group and the next highest ranking skaters draw for the penultimate group, followed by any remaining skaters in the "skate later" group drawing for spots. Then the "skate earlier" group will have a draw for their spots (with no separate groupings like the "skate later" skaters do).
Starts on page 88 here
Starting order by current World Standings Ranking:
Warmup Group 1
56
37
86
69
41
Warmup Group 2
66
129
50
53
90
Warmup Group 3
170
60
46
89
91
Warmup Group 4
62
70
58
30
24
Warmup Group 5
33
28
22
21
35
Warmup Group 6
12
20
16
18
19
13
Warmup Group 7
1
11
5
10
8

Judging by this, it looks like the rules were followed. 37 skaters means 19 in "skate later" and 18 in "skate earlier". Warmup Group 7 contains the 6 top ranked skaters, and Warmup Group 6 the next top 6. The 7 remaining "skate later" make up Warmup Group 5 and the last two spots in Warmup Group 4. Warmup Groups 1-3 and the first 3 skaters in Warmup Group 4 are then entirely random draw for their spots, which is how Anastasia Galustyan (ranked 41) is in Warmup Group 1 and Yasmine Kimiko Yamada (ranked 170) is in Warmup Group 3.

Could it be worse for the Russian ladies? My only hope is that among AUT CAN CZE FRA GBR JPN LAT NOR KOR SLO ESP SWE SUI there are somebody with slavic last names
Take heart! There is a FRA judge!
But seriously, judges arent biased, are they? Why, just look at the US Supreme Court judges!

Has anyone watched Worlds on NBCSN in the US? How much of the short program do they usually show? There is no way I can stay up to watch it on a stream.

Usually at least the last two groups + American skaters who may not be in those groups (during breaks, etc)
SInce the block for the NBCSN Ladies SP stream/broadcast is ~2 hours, and the last two SP groups are about 1 hour and 40 minutes total, they'll probably also show a few others before Group 6 starts and/or during the Zamboni break between Group 6 and Group 7.

Thanks Chem! Surely they will show Carolina! There are a few from the first five groups that I would like to see, but I hope they show her!

Since I'm not sure I'll have time to watch coverage live today because of thesis stuff, and I'm heading to bed now, I leave you all with this pre-emptive SHUT UP, TARA!

Ugggh, a 10:40AM start, Finnish time?! I was dumb and assumed it would be later in the day, silly me. 
I doubt I'll be able to stay awake for the entire night. I'd love to see the final two groups, maybe I should set an alarm? Would anyone know the approximate start time of the last two groups in EST?
