Don't know where to ask - what is this competition? Does it count for anything?Trophée Metropole de Nice
It is one of the competitions which falls under "other international competition" category.Don't know where to ask - what is this competition? Does it count for anything?
OK thank you. WS only for those two disciplines?It counts for minimum TES and depending on the number of entries/countries, also for World Standings (in this case, it counts for Junior ID and Senior Women but not for Senior ID).
I was referring only to disciplines with Chinese entries.OK thank you. WS only for those two disciplines?
(ETA: https://skatingscores.com/2324/cupnic/ they differ from you - which I'm only pointing out to show that they've added this feature, since I don't necessarily trust it and it's likely they just automated it)
This is good to know: I thought it included skaters and teams who are listed as WD. (After some milestone before the competition -- draw? team leaders meeting? -- through withdrawing part-way through a program.)The counting is done after the the end of the SP/RD. It is the number who finished the first segment.

Thank you. I've bumped up the ISU World Standings Updated thread and linked to the April 2023 ISU Communication on this topic: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/isu-world-standings-updated.110154/#post-6483904I was referring only to disciplines with Chinese entries.
The requirements for WS points are
Singles: at least 8 entries from at least 4 countries
Pairs: at least 5 entries from at least 3 countries
Ice Dance: at least 6 entries from at least 4 countries
The counting is done after the the end of the SP/RD. It is the number who finished the first segment.
In Nice, Senior Men and Women meets the criteria. Senior Pairs no because there are 4 entries. Senior ID no because there are only 5 entries
All Junior events counted for WS.
They added the "At least the following minimum number of competitors must finish the first segment of the respective competition" line this year when they updated the World Standings document to include distribution of points for Junior B events.This is good to know: I thought it included skaters and teams who are listed as WD.

Peng won fifth place in pair skating at the Beijing Olympics with former partner Jin Yang. Since striking up a new partnership with Wang in March, the duo has made steady progress.
In their debut at the international event, Peng and Wang came from behind to triumph at the ISU 2023 Shanghai Trophy on October 4.
"From their current form and overall difficulty, they have achieved their initial goals. However, pair skating requires cooperation. I think they still need more time to enhance mutual understanding and cultivate a stronger chemistry," Yao said.
Wang, 35, told the Global Times that the most important thing is to remain true to his original aspiration and that he wants to go further with his new partner. "We're getting better on the ice. Peng is an excellent skater. We have good communication, and we can remain calm and summarize what we didn't do well during daily training," Wang said.
Peng is grateful for her partner's support and trust.
"We've overcome a lot of difficulties in the past months. Staying composed against the odds is crucial to our partnership," Peng noted.
"He takes the initiative to inquire about my emotional shifts and unravel the complexities within my heart. We can shoulder the challenges together," said Peng.
Unsure if this was posted before but I’m excited for her new SP!!
ISU has updated the bio of NINI.
Nini will perform her new SP, Voila choreographed by Benoit Richaud, in CoC。
I can’t agree more. P/W remind me of old-time Pairs, as in pre-2022. I am glad that they medaled but they actually won the earlier Shanghai Trophy with fewer faults.Congrats to Peng/Wang for what I hope is the first of many international medals!!
And, wow, Wenjing is a great choreographer. Hope to see her choreographing for some major names, even if galas first.
Is this not being updated?

It's a huge start for them as a team, though. I think they will work hard for that 4CC medal this season.Peng / Wang 0.03 away from the podium, ugh. Had hoped to see them at home GPF.![]()
