Love these. They are now the only score sheets I need to print out. Unless I move to the North pole where I can step south into any time zone for skating, 1-3 am isnt speaking to me...Will watch replays in the morning before checking social media...
Love her....did a quad as a junior....she had had some rough patches in life and I always cheer for her....good for her...
Yeah, us left coasters here had some tough decisions..but I am gonna chose sleep and stay off social media till I watch....dont know if Peacock will have 24 hour replays like Worlds but I hope they do so I dont have to listen to something who is extreamely fond of the sound of their own voice. Commentators, please leave your yak at home....
Okay, I won't tell you what you said not to tell you, but that's why.
Here are my suggestions
I doubt there will ever be more than the 6 spots, so a "fairer" might never be "needed".
Fairer is needed.... not all countries have the same depth in the same disciplines...
Japan may put the money... but skaters can get season's best .... and that has an impact on ISU competitions....When the ISU puts up the money that the Japanese sponsors have put up to sponsor this event, then the ISU can establish the rules. Otherwise these have been the rules for what, 25 years now, and I can't see them changing.
Any entity or any person who wants to put up the prize money these skaters are earning to participate in this event, can set up their own event with their own rules.
Who wants to be first to raise the cash?
Sure, but those countries won't qualify anyway. That's what I wanted to say.
Canada is in. No depth in singles. Much depth in pairs and dance...
I don't know whether the number of warm-up groups has anything to do with it. But, from a practical standpoint, there will be only 2 warm-up groups in each discipline and no reason to get @CellarDweller out with the Zamboni in the middle of any discipline.
You call this no depth? Look at other feds
Canada is still one of the big 5 (?) and will always qualify and find enough athletes (or the other way round).
my suggestion is to make it even across the disciplines, which favours smaller country... not many countries have more than one athlete/ skater per discipline able to score points to qualify... You can look at the qualifying scores... some countries didn't have a second woman or man earning points on the GP circuit or during ISU championships... If anything, all Europeans countries are disadvantaged by the current format because of the quota at Euros... versus the 3 entries allowed at 4CC.You call this no depth? Look at other feds
eta: maybe we're leaning into the wrong direction now as well. As I understood it, the question was whether to invite even more athletes. Which would exclude even more (smaller) countries?
