Grand Prix Early Predictions Game

[Mrs. P]

I would like it to continue all season, too! We could do the GPF, Euros, 4CC, and Worlds, and maybe even Russian, Canadian, U.S., and Japanese Nats. However, I'm not the one doing all the scorekeeping, so I don't really get a say. Thanks to everyone who did keep score!

I'm cool with that. I'd love to be your pairs scoring calculator (as long as you have no problems with my scoring, LOL ) for the rest of this season!

[tulosai]

I don't mean to be rude/mean to whoever was doing it but we really need a replacement men's scorekeeper. Other than that I would love to keep going! I know it was planned that we'd do the GPF as a minimum because I was asked to score the Dance for that (Macassar88 is still the official dance scorekeeper but due to extensive traveling hasn't been able to do it)

ETA: because I don't watch men (and blindly guessed on all my men's predictions) (I Know, I know) I don't want to be the men's scorekeeper myself- if it was another discipline I'd volunteer.

[jChamp]

I'm definitely up for keeping the game going and I'd like to continue with the ladies tallying!

I'd start the GP Final predictions, but I'm holding out to see if there will be any more WDs...

I think this won't happen, since she had the skate of her life at NHK and she still scored less than what Wagner did at both of her GPs...

[jChamp]

Here goes...

MEN
1. Chan
2. Hanyu
3. Takahashi
4. Fernandez
5. Kozuka
6. Machida

(3-5 are complete guesses)

LADIES
1. Wagner
2. Asada
3. Suzuki
4. Tuktamysheva
5. Gao
6. Korpi

Putting Korpi last might be a bad idea, but her personal best FS is only 115+, which she got this year. I think the question will be whether she runs away with the SP.

PAIRS
1. Volozozhar/Trankov
2. Pang/Tong
3. Kavaguti/Smirnov
4. Bazarova/Lairnov
5. Duhamel/Radford
6. Moore-Towers/Moscovitch

Definitely some wishful thinking here.

DANCE
1. Davis/White
2. Virtue/Moir
3. Pechalat/Bourzat
4. Bobrova/Soloviev
5. Capellini/Lanotte
6. Ilinkh/Katsalapov

Based on THIS year's results, any other ranking will be a bit of a shock to me.

DANCE
1. Davis/White
2. Virtue/Moir
3. Pechalat/Bourzat
4. Bobrova/Soloviev
5. Capellini/Lanotte
6. Ilinkh/Katsalapov

Based on THIS year's results, any other ranking will be a bit of a shock to me.

I think you could actually be shocked: beating I/K in Russia will be very difficult for C/L! I hope they will do it, though...

[Totentanz]

I think one of NHK scoring is still missing on the score-table. Is it calculated but not seen? Or not calculated? Or am I totally wrong?

Anyway here are my predictions for GPF 2012-2013!

1. Patrick Chan
2. Yuzuru Hanyu
3. Daisuke Takahashi
4. Javier Fernandez
5. Takahiko Kozuka
6. Tatsuki Machida

2. Elizaveta Tuktamysheva
3. Akiko Suzuki
4. Mao Asada

2. P/T
3. B/L
4. K/S
5. D/R
