Don't really know the Finnish scene, other than that the 1 ladies spot will likely be between Viveca Lindfors and Emmi Peltonen. Valtter Virtanen for the men's spot I guess?
.
(except EROKHOV, PONSART and Julian Zhi Jie YEE - two Events).
Thanks. Corrected.Julian Zhi Jie Yee has been assigned to only one event - Skate America.

Thanks for the list! Re. your notes, Castelli/Tran split, as did Duskova/Bidar; they won't be on the GP circuit for sure.
Any info on who the next in line are, now that Yu/Zhang are skipping GPs due to injury? I'm hopeless at these calculations.
For either of the Canadian teams that would mean back-to-back events, though since neither is a serious candidate to win a medal I'm sure they wouldn't care as opposed to the prospect of a second event.For SA, Stellato/Bartholomay aren't an option because they'd either get the remaining host spot instead or someone else would and there would already be 3 US teams. That also applies to Pfund/Santillan and Lu/Mitrofanov. So any of the others could be options, but they might prefer a team based in NA. That would be Ruest/Wolfe, Walsh/Michaud or Suzaki/Kihara.
RUS fed also likes to substitute with skaters based on Europe so Fentz is the most obvious choice.
I thought the same until I realized Fentz is already assigned to Rostelecom Cup.
