Due to the interim marking system, ordinals aren't shown on the scoreboard in the arena. They are shown very briefly for each skater on a monitor in the media room. I can't get these very often because I'm out in the arena watching and can't get back to the media room in time to see them. I only get them when another reporter who is watching in the media room takes them down & gives them to me. They're also only the ordinals at that point in the competition and aren't sorted by judge. I only got the ordinals here for Amber and they are the ordinals of the 9 judges that counted.

Answering the questions posted above all in one post. . .

Sk8Score is a program I wrote for the Palm pda. I use it to write my notes (with normal 6.0 scoring it will also calculate the ordinals) and then upload them to my laptop into an Access database and then into reports which is what I post.

I'll be doing reports for all of the events.

I wouldn't say that Joannie wuz robbed. The fallout hands down on the 3z was a fairly major mistake, not just a quick little slip.

Here's some comments on people's comments on the placements: Remember, I'm not a judge and it's possible I missed a spin or footwork deduction - I usually forget to count spin rotations until I realize that the skater might not have done enough <G>

Amber, Angela & Yukina all skated clean and there's justifications for putting them in any order. One of the reasons I hate not seeing the ordinals (don't care which judge gave which marks) is you can't tell how close it was between the 3 of them. I was sitting at the end where Amber did her 3t3t and the 2nd toe was definitely clean (the upper body prerotated but not the foot), the 1st one I think was the same thing but I'm not 100% sure.

Jennifer, Yukari, Joannie, Yoshie all had a mistake on 1 element.

Cynthia had a mistake on 2 elements and much as I like Cynthia I have to admit that she might have been placed 1 or 2 places higher than she should have been.

Joanne Carter skated clean except a possible cheat or slight 2foot on the lutz (far end of rink, couldn't see well enough), so if anyone wuz robbed, I'd say it was her.

On the whole, I thought the event was quite well judged and the skaters ended up in pretty much the places they should have.

Amber doing well Internationally

Roseleen, thank you so much! I felt reading your notes like I was there watching too! Wonderful!!!! Thank you so much because many of these skaters I will never see on TV. Amber skated cleanly and the international judges placed her highly according to the content and cleanliness of the short program, and this is nice to see! At US Nationals she has skated cleanly in the short program and been placed relatively lower. Maybe this shows the different standards of judging in different places of the world. It is nice to read about a clean skate from Angela Nikodinov also, as her life in skating seems to have been filled with sorrowful moments. Again, thank you!

I agree that the person robbed most was Joanne Carter (I didn't agree with a few judging decisions but she was the only one who I felt was cheated out of more then a place or two). He lutz was totally clean (it was right in front of me...I could even look down at the tracing on the ice after) and it was off a true outside edge. My friend and I both thought it was the best lutz of the night. The flip wasn't quite as good but still looked clean. I agree that Cynthia is lucky to be in 8th with her skate...she looked terrified before her warm-up, on her warm-up, and to a lesser extent as she went out to skate...still not bad for her first sr international.

There are upsets all over the place here. We are just going to wait for the LP results.

In the meantime, this is Amber's year. Nice for her. She's been around a long time.
