But seriously, it's hard to get level A. You must be top ten at worlds, medal at GP final, win Four Continents, or win U.S. Nationals.
Outside of the US, few know about Marley/Brubaker, or Hubbell/Donohue. Nor are they US champions. Both teams in envelop A.
2010 National Champion, 2011 Silver Medalist. 2012 Envelop C.
Two times U.S. Champion (2009 and 2011), and current Silver medalist. 2012 Envelop B.

I think it's interesting that Nagasu got team B funding, the same as the last few years. Therefore she will not, actually, be working with less money this coming year than i past years (other than that she may have lost some potential money by not winning or medaling in many events this season).
I'm wondering why Joelle Forte was at Skate America in 2011 ? Her ranking at the US Nationals is not in the top 5.
If someone know it, I wish that they write me a quote
But, I don't care that they choose Joelle for Skate America, I find that she was great at this competition and deserve to be more appeared in international competition.
I felt that she should have won the 3rd place at this competition, but she was undermark for lack of international experience. She is such a great skater
