Does anyone know when the rosters will be announced?

Mathman,
Thank you for the answer but I wonder about you math.
why 10% of 200,000 is $20,000 for Rachel, Caroline, Jeremy and Evan and 15% of 200,000 is $30,000 for Tanith & Ben and Denny & Barrett.
If you count in the supposed $10,000 they received for the gala the amount comes to $30,000 for the above mention single skaters and $40,000 for the above mention teams.

That's what its all about!!. Watch Japan Fed in their selection for NHK.
The Finals are the BIG competition...
Cowards and scoundrels all! :disagree:Joesitz said:...there is only one way to get there and strategy in the Host country is very helpful.
Joesitz said:If the USFS puts Flatt, Zhang, and Nagasu in the SA, and Kim and Kostner or Nakano show up, goodbye Finals to the USA. No?
I believe last year it was published on the ISU website on June 14th.Does anyone know when the rosters will be announced?
It should be sometime after the Grand Prix selection meeting. I just posted the dates I've heard in the GP thread: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27734&page=3Does anyone know when the rosters will be announced?
(5/1/09) - Senior men's skater Curran Oi has announced he will not compete in the 2009-10 season and, thus, has been removed from the team envelope.

She has grown a lot from last year till now, certainly more so than 2 1/2 inches. If anything, it appears as if Rachael has reached a plateau in terms of development - ditto Ashley. Caroline is now as tall as Rachael and Joannie, if not taller, and is probably around the same height as Mao and Yu-Na. I'm worried that, at this rate, she might develop up until around 5'6 or 5'8. This would be fine if it added more power and height to Caroline's jumps, but as she relies very much on the winding up technique, I wonder how she will get herself up into the air if she continues to grow exponentially.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I haven't read through all the discussion, but why is Emily Hughes not on one of the lists?
I am not too familier with these lists and stuff so I appologize if this is a newbie question--I am one.
I found a list on the usfsa site and Kimmie is mentioned--Team C but still--she wasn't at nationals like Emily, so why wasn't Emily on the team as well?

I don't think any National results are considered in the qualifications for the GPs.
Meissner (and Bebe Liang) are in Team C due to the following envelope criterion (link to all the criteria is posted in post #1 of this thread):I found a list on the usfsa site and Kimmie is mentioned--Team C but still--she wasn't at nationals like Emily, so why wasn't Emily on the team as well?
Athletes in the Reserve Envelope that medal at a "Senior B" international, Junior Grand Prix or Grand Prix competition will be placed immediately in Team Envelope C - Tier 1 and receive the remaining funding for that season.
Reserve team athletes are currently unfunded (they used to receive a stipend years ago). From the published envelope criteria: http://www.usfigureskating.org/Athletes.asp?id=350
Many of the athletes named to this year's Reserve team showed good results, potential and/or performances at 2009 Nationals, and some of the athletes will be considered for international assignments (Sr B, JGP). For example, if and when Sasha Cohen is officially assigned to the Senior Grand Prix, I would expect her to be placed in the Reserve envelope.
