Senior Men Qualifying B Notes & Results

NOTE: Skaters are shown in start # order. The marks shown are what I wrote down as they were announced – there could be mistakes. The ordinals are what my program has calculated, again, there could be mistakes. The placement sometimes will be the official placements (if Skate Canada gets the results out quick enough) or might be what I managed to get down in the second or two that they flashed it on the board. <G> Anyway, it’s better than nothing J

I’m not perfect on the jumps – sometimes I miss a takeoff, so feel free to make any corrections or ask questions

Note: Michael Fowlie who was to skate 12th, withdrew -- I don't know why

Thanks so much for posting such great summaries of the skates. I noticed though that you had a 3rd place ordinal for Jeff Buttle. According to the Skate Canada website, he received all 1st except for one 2nd place ordinal.
