Thank God Peacock didn't demand a password tonight, because I'm not sure I remember it!

 

[Aceon6]

Does anyone in the arena know how close we are to starting. Good ole ‘cock says “shortly.”

 

[peibeck]

Guess they are running behind from the earlier events?

 

[Lizziebeth]

Does anyone in the arena know how close we are to starting. Good ole ‘cock says “shortly.”

I am getting the same message

 

[peibeck]

Short 'cock is just rude.

 

[Debbie S]

Me too. Glad it's not just me.

 

[rfisher]

And, I've refreshed several times. Still waiting

 

[euterpe]

Why isn't it starting? It's 8:26 now....

 

[wickedwitch]

Am shamelessly mooching off my sister's peacock account, which for some reason was already on my computer.

 

[Lizziebeth]

there should not be a delay should there? prior event was over hours ago unless there was one I did not know about

 

[ChelleC]

Glad I am not the only one getting "Coverage to Begin Shortly."

 

[Frau Muller]

No show??? I’ve been waiting...

 

[Karen-W]

I don't think this is the 'cock's fault though. When I click on the results page, it still says "Start Order" instead of "Live Unofficial", so I'm thinking the event is late getting started.

 

[Aceon6]

Just checked skating Twitter and there’s nothing there either.

 

[Sylvia]

I'm told 8:45 pm is the new start time.

 

[Frau Muller]

Maybe this is being run by our Cranberry Cup video genius?

Oops saw the message about 8:45pm start.

Don’t these people realize that some of us have been up since 3am for JGP???

 

[euterpe]

I've been watching skating since 8 this morning JGP men, then JGP dance, then US Novice, then ACI. This one is the most frustrating....

 

[Aceon6]

I'm told 8:45 pm is the new start time.

I guess USFS uses airline time.

 

[kwanette]

I'm told 8:45 pm is the new start time.

4th time change?

 

[Frau Muller]

I hope that this is not due to another withdrawal

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Pardon my ignorance. Was the time so late because of the Jewish holiday? Since there are Israeli skaters and Jewish judges?

 

[Karen-W]

I've been watching skating since 8 this morning JGP men, then JGP dance, then US Novice, then ACI. This one is the most frustrating....

Well, that's because you missed out on the overnight tech delays that started off the day in Krasnoyarsk for the JGP Dance.

 

[Aceon6]

Pardon my ignorance. Was the time so late because of the Jewish holiday? Since there are Israeli skaters and Jewish judges?

Sunset was 6:52. Plenty of time, even with hideous Boston traffic.
And we have a new splash screen that annoyingly refreshes to get your hopes up.

 

[euterpe]

I missed the beginning of RD because I was in bed sleeping. I got up at 8 to watch the men, and found out about the earlier tech glitch. So that wasn't so frustrating for me.

 

[rfisher]

Progress: now we have a seizure inducing screen instead.

 

[euterpe]

It's now 8:46.....

 

[Karen-W]

Progress: now we have a seizure inducing screen instead.

This screen screams "someone's having fun with Power Point entrance animations!"

 

[Karen-W]

And we have sound and an arena picture! Judge intros!

 

[Lizziebeth]

Finally!
