I wouldn't want to be cynical, so I must assume a skater is put in an entry list, NOT when he is invited, but when he actually accepts. Otherwise I could invite Caroline to Uncle Elmer's hog wrestling festival, and put her on the entry list.

Withdrawls happen all the time. Are the athletes invited to compete at these competitions? I thought they registered if they wanted to compete. Whoever registers is put on the entry list, but that doesn't guarantee that they will actually show up. Always better to register beforehand so you have the spot, but due to any number of circumstances (we really don't know the condition of Caroline's knee at this point) a withdrawl is very likely to happen.

Do I hope Caroline will compete? Yes. Do I think that she, Mirai, and Rachael will all show up at this competition? Not really. I think Mirai probably will do it, but Caroline and Rachael are up in the air, Caroline because of the injury and Rachael's been pretty busy traveling/she already did a summer competition.

I think skaters are invited to charity shows, but you are probably right about a competition. If Caroline, Rachael and Mirai are all on the entry list, then they must have indicated they want to skate. Caroline did Golden West last year and crushed her competition. We'll see what happens this year.
 
Local competitions (like Golden West) - you fill out your entry form, pay the fee and you are listed as a competitor. If you are going to withdraw, they typically request you do it as early as possible to allow for schedule adjustments.
 
I originally posted the following in the Golden West thread in the Events forum -- link to the event thread is: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28665
Team B envelope skaters Nagasu, Zhang, and Inoue/Baldwin are expected to compete here for "competition readiness" monitoring in preparation for their Grand Prix events.

ETA: If a skater being monitored cannot compete due to injury, they would inform USFS and make alternative arrangements.

Hopefully, there will be some videos up on YouTube of the performances at Golden West. That will tell us a great deal. It looks like there will be an unusually high number of well known skaters for a local club event.

Caroline lose her mule-kick? That would be like losing her pearl spin. :biggrin:
 
Let the betting begin for what color her long program dress will be-- as it is the Nutcracker, I will be shocked if its anything other than white, pink, or baby blue.

Three colors I'm not exactly excited to see her in (again). No more pastels please!
 
lol You can't go from princess to dominatrix-- baby steps

I think it says alot how ANY of her previous dresses work for ANY of the programs she's done so far. Wish she'd get Yuna's designer.....though that would probably be out of her budget unless some major sponsors knock on her door.

However, I do think Zigeunerweisen has potential for a bolder look!
