[CaroLiza_fan]

Just popping from a borrowed computer, as mine still isn’t sorted yet. (More on that here).

Like with the previous rounds of the Nationals Game, there hasn’t been any research done as a result. They have been made using the original entry list, so will not reflect any withdrawals or replacement entries. So, this is largely based on bringing together my predictions from this season’s Skate America and last season’s Nationals.

The added complication for this round is that, whereas I had watched the NHK Trophy and Cup Of Russia before making my predictions for the Japanese and Russian Championships, I haven’t actually watched any of Skate America yet. So, I am even blinder than normal.

As I said when I was doing my Skate America predictions, I always dread this round of the Nationals Game, because the fields are so different from one year to the next. And since the international slots tend to go to the same group of skaters each year, those of us who are overseas don’t really get the chance to get to know the supporting cast.

Pairs and Dance were really difficult to predict on blindly, because there are so many new partnerships. It got to the stage where I was basing my placements on how many skaters in the partnership had an ISU Bio (even if it was a Singles Bio)!!!

But, I’ve tried my best for what will probably be the final Predictions Game round of this season.

@Gia_Sesshoumaru I didn't know about this round of withdrawals - thanks for the update! In CaroLiza_fan's absence (he has some computer issues), I've been updating the first post of the thread. I'll update that now (and also update my picks...).

Thank you so much for doing this, @Weathergal.

I really appreciate it.

At 4:50 ET, I just edited my prediction post. I hope my predictions aren't invalidated as a result! My memory is that it has to be one hour before the first competition, so that would be 4:55 or 5:00, by my reckoning.

Well, at any rate, I've voted for my favorites, and that's the most important thing to me.

Go, skaters! Skate brilliantly and with love for your sport and art!

 

[Weathergal]

Thank you so much for doing this, @Weathergal.

I really appreciate it.

You are truly welcome - I'm very glad to help!

Thanks for all your input, guys. As I said icw the pairs results, my concentration might have suffered a bit, so in the event of any mistakes, please DM me and I'll fix it asap.

 

[Moxiejan]

Ladies results are in!

With many participants picking Mariah Bell to finish 1st or 2nd, and few having Amber Glenn in the mix, the scores are quite low.
Even with that, some who did not have Bradie Tennell as the winner did get enough points from other positions to get a medal -- just not gold.

Gold with 50 points:

GINO (had places 1, 3, 4 correct; got 5 points for Audrey Shin)
yume (had places 1 & 4 correct; got points in all other positions)

Woo, Gold in Ice Dance, I will take it!

Thank you!

 

[kirauza343]

Lmao I had Amber perfect and didn’t lose many points on Mariah but the rest of my picks were too much of a mess

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Lol, ice dance is the discipline I follow the least, but I always do best in the prediction games. Maybe because my judgment is not clouded by fangirling? Anyways, many thanks to the hardworking scorers in all disciplines!
