Let's hope this event gains a little more steam in its second year. At last season's inaugural event, there were only 20 competitors in total; 11 from USA and 9 international skaters from Mexico, Taiwan, and Thailand. Only the Junior Women's event had enough competitors for ISU points.

They're going to need to do a little better to get the word out as, at this moment, the announcement is only available on the USFS website behind a password-protected link.

In addition to it being a first year event, perhaps last year's poor attendance was due to the invitation only being open to Advanced Novice and Juniors. The Senior competition is being added this year, so, perhaps federations will be more inclined to send a delegation.

Page 5: Bonus for Advanced Novice Single Skating
Skaters can earn bonus points for jumps that are achieved in Short Program and/or Free Skating. To be eligible for bonus points, jumps must be fully rotated or landed on the quarter (q) and must be in accordancewith the Short Program requirements as well as the well balanced Free Skating program and the repetition rules for jumps. Jumps can be performed as a solo jump, or in jump combination or jump sequence. Jumps that are identified by the Technical Panel as under-rotated (<), downgraded (<<), with wrong edge (e) or have a fall or being identified as invalid element (*) are not eligible to receive bonus points. However, if in a jump combination or sequence there is a fall on a jump other than the bonus-generating jump, the bonus is stillreceived. For example, 3Sb+2T with a fall on the 2T. If an element has attention (!) and quarter (q), it is still valid for bonus points. Jump(s) with +REP can receive a bonus.
• Short Program:In the Short Program a maximum of two (2) bonus points can be achieved: one (1) bonus point for one (1)Double Axel and one (1) bonus point for one (1) triple jump.

Ouch. Traveling thousands of miles for no ISU points is rough enough, but to have no other competitor besides a rink mate must be frustrating. For that rink mate to also be you sibling? Wow. Not exactly money well spent by their fed -- I'm sure they assumed there would be other skaters for them to go up against.

The Fitterer brothers still list New Jersey as their training location in their ISU bios (IIRC they were in Hackensack when younger and competed in USFS qualifying comps).

Well that is certainly a little less annoying for them. Heck, maybe they're even training in Colorado now.

Looks like Annabelle Wilkins also WD - guess I missed her skate? :confused: ETA that I just realized she was in the first group and I tuned in late!

Anabel Wallace skated first and her jumps were 3F+2T, 3Lo fall, 2A.
