The Milan event will be on Wednesday and Thursday of that week, rather than the weekend. It won't allow 4CC skaters to attend, but the livestreams (if there are any) won't conflict with streams/broadcasts of the free skates from 4CCs. That may have made it more acceptable. Conceivably, some...

If the voting is close to 2-to-1, then they'll have to count them. They won't just revert to a simple majority.

I don't see the point of not having awards, and if MLB had threatened to eliminate them, you'd probably have a players' strike. A number of contracts include incentives for winning various awards.

I remember seeing Peter Tchernychev climb the boards at a practice session to avoid two ice dancers who had previously sued him for a collision at an earlier competition. I think he was being sarcastic. [Edited to add: The article linked by kosjenka below states that Albena Denkova did not...
