[StitchMonkey]

i can't find the scores anywhere and I think they should be posted by now. Has anybody had any success?

It's a couple weeks away still.

[just wondering]

Though it seems interesting that the USFSA updated the international assignments today with the skate America tbas determined but did not update the info on the classic. Perhaps they are still making some final decisions on that?

I suspect this is the case. Considering the ISP and where others might be headed anyway makes me think USFS is working through those remaining who have posted decent summer scores. May not be as easy or obvious as it might first seem.

Um, maybe try reading the thread title again?

Two different organizations
USFSA and Salt Lake are hosts and USFSA sends it entries to the ISU by the cut off time
ISU posts the entries when they do but usually about 30 days ahead of time
I think they will post both JGP Torun Poland and also Salt Lake when they have someone in the office in Geneva that can write HTML language
I'm probably wrong - but that's my story and I'm sticking to it for a few minutes until someone that knows what they are talking about can give us the real answer
Would love to know who is competing
Thanks

I believe aromatic's post had nothing to do with the ISU site.

I think aromatic is saying that the International Assignments page on USFS's own website still does not give the Team USA assignments for SLC, which were announced days ago. But the new Skate America assignments announced today already have been added to the USFS assignments page.

Team Australia remains Awesome.

And yay, Lukas!

 

[Sugarpova]

Looking forward to Nazarova/Nikitin

It's idiotic not to add at least a 3rd US Lady at a US Senior B. Four US Men but just 2 ladies.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I'll never understand why Ashley doesn't do events like this. With her inconsistency and technical issues being about her only weakness it would seem logical for her to skate more frequently to work out the bugs.

I noticed that there are four US ladies at Nebelhorn. Mariah Bell still only has SA. #lame

I agree that it is weird that they wouldn't add someone like Tyler Pierce or Leah Kaiser, who is in the international selection pool and skating senior.

However maybe another thing to keep in mind is that the federation may have offered up spots to skaters who said no thanks to them? Many of the developing skaters are working on their technique and skating, especially because regionals and sectionals are coming up very soon. If they don't receive a bye, they will want to be hard at work working on their skating to keep their spot at nationals.

The first regionals are only a week after salt lake, in fact. And because it's domestically located, I don't believe attending salt lake would give them an automatic bye either.

No, only two U.S. ladies -- Mirai and Courtney -- are assigned to Nebelhorn.

Ashley Cain and Hannah are listed as substitutes.

Especially when it is located right between California and Colorado Springs with so many skaters in each. Lots of skaters who could drive if they needed/wanted to and don't have to deal with more than a 1 hour time change. Who knows what USFSA is thinking.

Skaters that I want to watch: Kanako, Satoko, and Shoma! :dance:

I truly am sorry that you always need to fact check me so frequently but I am thankful. I misread a post earlier today in another thread about the four entries and definetly did a googley eye thing. Makes way more sense that only two are going.

Still...that doesn't answer my question about Ashley not doing senior B events though. Obviously it would call for speculation but then again a lot of what we do here involves that to a degree. I truly believe she would benefit as would other skaters in attending such events. Oh well....she probably has her reasons and who am I to question such things.

I am a big believer in trying to nip anyone's inaccuracies (esp. my own ) in the bud -- because as your own experience demonstrates, misinformation can quickly take on a life of its own.

(Was and am purposely steering clear of your Wagner question b/c I don't have an opinion either way.)

Okay, fine... I'll step in here. Divas only attend major events.
