and those were what I was most excited for. Really liked Carolane and Shane (her dress was WOW), and the Spain teams Grease was extra cheesy but Olivia killed it.

I don’t know how the flags get there, but you could always ask in the feedback forum to have it put in. I’m sure the admins would be glad to oblige.
if not... well... mods anyone? lol

I inquired about that at the time I made the thread. Apparently mods add it (or don't, in this case).

I thought I used to see the flag next to the thread name on the list of threads. I no longer see it there for this (or any other) national thread. But I do see it next to the thread name on the first post of the thread.

added: I exited from GS and came back, and now I see the flags on the thread list (both this and England/Ireland one).

Emmy and Aissa's second JGP assignment is Croatia. Nadiia and Peter were previously announced as competing there, so this will probably be a very important matchup in terms of determining who gets to go to the Youth Olympics.
Completely agree!
People were so worried about pairs for Canada but really with practice and polish there will quite a few teams vying for those spots in Beijing.

That they didn't suggests to me that they're going to be sending more people abroad. Last year it was, outside of ACI, one per discipline per event at Finlandia, US Classic, etc.
Or that something is up with Sales & Wamsteeker and Lajoie & Lagha, and they are starting their seasons late for some reason. Still, I'd have thought Canada would invite Fabbri & Ayer or Lanaghan & Razgulajevs here. Anyway, as long as the teams get the chance at a CS, that's what's important.

It seems like comparable teams to Fabbri & Ayer usually do. Bent & Razgulajevs were 9th at Junior Worlds as well; and they attended Lake Placid International and two Challengers (probably had to earn a certain score in order to get the second).
There are plenty of CS events ahead, and Canada does often send developing teams to the U.S. Classic as well as the one in Canada. It's just not like Canada not to use the 3rd spot at the Autumn Classic so that's why I wonder if another team might have been scheduled for the spot & then dropped it.

possible... and that may be lala but let's not speculate... marjorie was at CQÉ and looked happy and cheery... did not see Zach... there is also Fisher and Malette Paquette who were promising until injuries slowed them down last year... but yeah... even if another team was slotted, why not have a sub? It's in Canada, it's cheap...
and it's needed...even with men... for instance, a guy like Joseph may be competing on the JGP but getting him TES minimums early in the season could be useful later on.I just thought that if another team was slotted there, then teams like Fabbri & Ayer and Lanaghan & Razgulajevs might already be scheduled for something else and then, of course, want to stick to the plans & schedule they were/are already on.
I do assume that Canada has a certain criteria that has to be met in order for a team to earn a Challenger event, the same as the U.S. has for teams making the International Selection Pool. As far as I've seen, those two teams + the five named to the National Team are probably all of the Canadian dance teams currently in the running for Challenger berths.
Fisher & Malette-Paquette could be too if they are making the move up to seniors, but they are apparently not on any lists and none of the dance fans I've asked throughout the summer have heard or seen any sign that they are training. (Have you heard or seen any sign of it since March?) In that case, though, it seems likely that for some reason they aren't ready because young North American teams usually get out early in the summer and compete. They have more time than the top senior teams to prepare for the next season and they usually use it to get a jump start, going to events like Lake Placid in order to earn senior minimums or the Quebec summer event in order to get a run-through under their belt & feedback before trying to earn a Challenger score that will get a team another international event.
