@her grace yeah, it'll be an interesting season. Because of the age change, we had more teams stick around in (or return to) junior than we would have had otherwise, but this year there's tons of turnover. Side note, I was on the Wikipedia page for the 2024-25 JGP to remind myself of all the...

It is 2 for the JGP, with 3 for the host for singles and dance. Maybe that's what you were thinking of. Pairs has max 3 since only 4 JGP events have pairs.

Probably not much for them. It's my understanding that they take into account the team's preferences (after host picks) in order of seeding. So the third team in the seeding group doesn't have much say once the first two get their spots. For the 2nd seeding group, I'd expect SC and SA to pick...

I really like the Taschlers, and definitely agree their speed and power should be better rewarded (and I was/am for keeping the pattern in the RD). Imo their lower placement at Euros had more to do with a weaker RD skate though. They were 20th in base value in that segment. The judges had them...

It may for Olympic spots though. As others have pointed out, to secure 3 outright, all three skaters have to make the FS. It's not like any other Worlds in that respect. I don't know if this was the right decision or not, and none of us know whether Jason will actually compete at Worlds. It may...

I'd be here for a waltz RD

I think those events are too close together this year. The women's FS at 4CCs in Feb 23rd, and the Jr women SP at JW is Feb 27th. That's really tight, especially with the travel. If there was another week or two it would still be a lot (especially if she ended up at Sr worlds), but it would be a...

Yeah, I agree. If B/G were ready for Nationals, it would be unlikely but not impossible for them to make up the ~30 point gap by outscoring G/A at both Nats and Euros. But since they aren't on the entry list, it seems like it's basically already decided.

They did Shanghai Trophy. I don't remember if that would count for Italy. Italy does have three spots for Euros, so in terms of qualifying for that they aren't competing with G/A, but with Caldara/Maglio.

@Karen-W I noted a couple small errors in the senior men table (and corrected a couple in my own by comparing to yours). Jason's CS scores appear to be 0.8 of his lower GP score, but it should be 0.8* his GP average. Unless I'm misunderstanding the appendix. Doesn't make a big difference...

L/B may be training full time in France at the moment, but according to Geoffrey's instagram post today it seems IAM are still coaching them. For anyone who can't see it, this is included in the caption:

I'm fairly certain there is not a legal obligation, as Solene was an adult at the time of the incident. The only mandatory reporting laws in Canada that I'm familiar with are for child abuse (which apply to minors under 16-18, depending on the province). There was certainly a moral and ethical...

Fair. I only noticed because I keeping my own tables and I noticed we had different totals. Also I'm surprised Shanghai Trophy counts under NQS, but I guess it doesn't count as a senior B so it gets stuck there? And do I understand correctly that only the top 2 women per section get to count a...

I think there is a small error with the 2nd CS scores for skaters who only had 1. It looks like you did 75% (the overall factor) of their 1st CS scores instead of 80%. For example for Sonja Hilmer, I think her 2nd CS should be 121.44 (80% of 151.43), giving an average of 136.29. I took a quick...

Should Alysa have 5 in the previous season? The 2025 Worlds selection document says that for Previous Olympics/World Championships, 4-8 placements receive 5 points, and Alysa was 6th in 2022.
