Nice music, Samuel! At least for those of us who graduated high school in 1975. Go Redbone!

 

[Wyliefan]

Now what??

 

[Rukia]

lol this is the strangest night

 

[floridaice]

I'm getting the stream suspended message again.

 

[YukiNieve]

Huh？？？

 

[Wyliefan]

They seem to have given up completely.

 

[crzesk8dad]

I'm getting the stream suspended message again.

I just texted with the videographer. YT music Gremlins are having their way. He is trying to find the right 'balance" between listenable music and keeping YT at bay

Yeah unfortunately youtube be like that sometimes I feel for him. Tell him thank you for the hard work!

 

[Wyliefan]

Poor guy.

Aside from that, I wonder what made Endo stop.

 

[Rukia]

Poor guy.

Aside from that, I wonder what made Endo stop.

I'm going to be thinking about this all night for real

 

[crzesk8dad]

He says thanks for watching!

 

[Rukia]

Well goku seems to have done well for himself which is good because I love his skating

 

[Rukia]

These pants still crack me up so many choices were made

 

[crzesk8dad]

He says thanks for watching!

It's Oldies night!

 

[Wyliefan]

Paniot's mission to provide stonefaced interpretations of every classic pop song will never not be funny.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

I greatly enjoy Yaro’s annual tribute to American song classics lol. Along with the campy costumes!

Different night, same sentiment

 

[Rukia]

Different night, same sentiment

he's having a good time

I admire his commitment to a theme truly this program is fun if nothing else

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Are the arrows pointing to anything in particular?

 

[Rukia]

I just realized that not only does he have pants seemingly designed to emphasize his frontal region, that jacket has three arrows pointing down to the back. A+ costuming no notes.

 

[YukiNieve]

So Yaro's 2nd jump got 2T* - why? It is considered 3 jump-sequence?

So Yaro's 2nd jump got 2T* - why? It is considered 3 jump-sequence?

Didn't watch, but that happens when there's too many steps or a significant error between the two jumps in the free skate, hence why it's called 4F+COMBO and then the 2T

ETA- just watched the replay, it was a 4F fall out, and then an attempt at tacking on a 2T since he already had done the 4F in the previous jumping pass. Interestingly, he didn't get hit with the +REP because he had an attempt at a +COMBO noted... that didn't count anyways.

ETA2- looking at the protocols, Kai Kovar puzzlingly went for two +SEQs (both with 2A's in them), in which only one is allowed in a program. Therefore, the second 2A in sequence didn't count at all, and he did get a +REP for the entire jumping block, because of something that earned 0 points.

I love a good rulebook glance, and here's what I found

For Paniot:

Executions of jumpnot counted in Jump combination or sequence
If in a jump combination or sequence a skater falls or steps out of a jump and immediately executes another jump(s), the jump(s) after the mistake are not counted, and the call will be the executed jump(s) before the mistake + combo/sequence + the executed jump(s). The jumps after the mistake are marked with an ( * ) .3T (fall/step out) + 2T Call: 3T + Combo + 2T*2A + 1Eu (fall/step out) + 3S Call: 2A + 1Eu + Combo + 3S*3T (touch down with weight transfer) + 2A Call: 3T + Seq + 2A*3S (fall/step/out) + 2T + 2A Call: 3S + Seq + 2T+ 2A
By doing this all the executed jumps will be visible on the computer screen and it willbe easy to follow the requirements of the repetition rule. The Judges GOE refer to the entire element performed.

For Kovar:

More than one jump sequence in the program
There can only be one jump sequence in a Free program. If the skater executes two jump sequences in a program, only the first jump of the jump unit will count.
First jump sequence in the program: 3T + 2A + Seq
Second jump sequence in the program: 3S + 1A* + 2T* + Seq + REP
Second jump sequence in the program: 3S + 2T* + 1A* + Seq + REP

Looks like Hanna Harrell WD, she wasn't called for the warm-up.

 

[Amy L]

Ting is now listed as WD too

 

[Rukia]

noooooo stop withdrawing (although not surprised by Harrell she just did not look comfortable out there yesterday)

 

[Debbie S]

And the stream is gone again. With Ting WD, I think I'm out. I hope the stream comes back for everyone watching.

 

[Sylvia]

And the stream is gone again. With Ting WD

The livestream was fine for me during the Senior Women's FS. Ting has confirmed in an Insta story that she tested postive for covid yesterday and that's why she withdrew from the FS.

There were some notable Novice skates in the Pacific Rim comp. - hope to post a few notes when I have time.

I was told today's Autumn Classic NQS events won't be livestreamed, sadly.

Thank you for the good news, @crzesk8dad!

Todays' NHL rink [Autumn Classic NQS] events are on YouTube, I spoke with the videographer and he confirms that they are on. Currently, it's practice ice, however, if you move back on the "red line" at the screen bottom, you can see Junior women FS. Thank you to Hurd Video!!
