because it adds drama?
really hoping the Florida pairs get to go to Vancouver, wouldn't that be a story.

You've got a point.because it adds drama.
OMG this is freaking awesome! forget colorado, it's all about Florida this year!
Jeremy's worked so hard for this for so long it seems... I'm SO SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSO happy for him (for them)... wow... I'm in tears...
Without seeing the details, the SBS 3T hurt since John only did a double so it would be counted as a SBS 2T. Amanda fell on the throw 3Lz, but you could see from her landing that it was fully rotated.I can't believe I'm saying this, but Inoue and Baldwin got screwed!

Going into the long, Evora/Ladwig were ahead of Inoue/Baldwin by .99 points. In the long, I/B finished ahead of E/L - but only by .30. If their score had been higher, they would be in 2nd.
Wouldn't it be something if the USFSA did this right and name D/B and E/L to the Olympic team? They both deserve to go in my opinion.
Actually, this is one situation I'd send D/B and I/B to the Olympics. Evora/Ladwig haven't been received that well by intl judges even with decent skates. I/B, if they skate reasonably clean, have enough gravitas with intl judges to do OK. How we all feel about Baldwin is less relevant.
As for "doing right" I'm not in the camp you that you automatically send the top 2, esp with these scores practically identical. I'd send E/L to 4CC, naming them as alts to Olympics.
