Is it in St.Johns?
Yes. Skate Canada is in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada, where I will totally lose my voice for a week from screaming for all my faves there, LOL

Unfortunately, the 3rd best team for America (Manon and O'Mearer) broke up and each one has a new partner. They do not get GPs.emma said:I only started catching up on the boards yesterday, got soooooooooo excited about L/T and couldn't believe all the post-season 'gossip' that I have missed, only to discover it is not to be. :no: Oh well. I do feel bad for Peter as it has appeared that he wants to continue skating; and while dance is the discipline i follow and know the least about, I always enjoyed watching L/T skate and thought they were magnificent...I wish them well.

icedancer2 said:But technically, wouldn't they have to go to Sectionals first? (or maybe even Regionals, LOL).
Incorrect. Even if they did SA, they would have to do sectionals.soogar said:Well there aren't a lot of competitive dance teams in the US (which probably explains why the USFS was so quick to give L&T a spot in Skate America) so I don't think that L&T would have to go through the qualifying stages since they have been National champions. Plus with all the team break ups, it's hard to imagine who else the USFS would give an invitation to.
All 3 U.S. Sectionals in November 2005 are the same week as the GP in France (Nov. 17-20), which means that competition byes to 2006 Nationals will be given to the U.S. skaters assigned to the France and Russia (Nov. 24-27) Grand Prix events. Skaters that don't already have byes for having placed in the top 5 in senior at 2005 Nationals and are eligible for a competition bye to 2006 Nationals are:euterpe said:Getting a GP assignment doesn't mean a skater won't have to do Sectionals. Angela Nikodinov, Emily Hughes, Alissa Czisny, Ryan Jahnke, Dennis Phan and Amber Corwin each got an assignment, and since none of them finished in the top 5 at 2005 Nationals, they all have to do Sectionals to qualify for 2006 Nationals.
The China GP (Nov. 3-6), is TWO weeks before France, so Amber Corwin and Ryan Jahnke may or may not get byes (ditto Vise/Kole at NHK, Dec. 1-4) -- we'll have to wait and see.
Mathman said:Hey, Tharrtell!!!!! Where've you been? Good to see you back.
BTW, Doggygirl was asking in the cafe if someone could help her translate something into German.

No, Tdnuva (native speaker) helped out.tharrtell said:Thanks, MM. Started a grad school program that has been time consuming! Looked for the cafe thread but couldn't find it. Still in need of translation? Although, my German is pretty rusty!
