Here is the thread where you can make your predictions for the American Championships.

Entries/Results Page:
http://www.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2015/2015_us_fs_champs/results.html

The Senior competitions start on 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] January 2015 at 16:35 EST (22:35 CET / 21:35 GMT) with the Pairs Short.

So, predictions need to be in 1 hour before that, i.e. 15:35 EST (21:35 CET / 20:35 GMT)

If you need any help working out what time this is where you are, here is a Time Converter that Mrs. P very kindly posted in the Cup of China Predictions thread.

Please Note: Although there was no overlap between the Senior competitions at the American and Canadian National Championships last year, unfortunately there is this year. In Canada, the Senior competitions are being held on Friday 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] and Saturday 24[SUP]th[/SUP] January, with the Gala on the afternoon of Sunday 25[SUP]th[/SUP]. In America, the Senior competitions are being held on all 3 days (23[SUP]rd[/SUP], 24[SUP]th[/SUP] and 25[SUP]th[/SUP]), with the Gala on Sunday evening.


Entries

So that we could start predicting before the final entry lists were released, golden411 very kindly posted a link to the list of qualifiers in the first post below.

THANK YOU SO MUCH golden411!!! :clap: :points:

Please be aware that these are the provisional entry lists, and they may change by the time the Entry/Results page comes online.
EDIT (20[SUP]th[/SUP] January 2015): I am so sorry. I just discovered that the Senior competitions start a day earlier than I thought.

I thought the Short Dance (17:15 EST on 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] January 2015) was the first competition. It's not. The first competition is actually the Pairs Short, just over 24 hours earlier. So, here are the amended timings:

The Senior competitions start on 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] January 2015 at 16:35 EST (22:35 CET / 21:35 GMT) with the Pairs Short.

So, predictions need to be in 1 hour before that, i.e. 15:15 EST (21:35 CET / 20:35 GMT)

I always knew I found those timetable PDF's hard to follow, but I never thought I would make a mistake as big as this.​

EDIT (21[SUP]st[/SUP] January 2015): Replaced Ladies, Pairs and Dance Entry Lists with SP Start Orders (The Men will follow whenever their order is announced).​

Let the fun begin!!! :biggrin:

The official USFS list of skaters who qualified for Nats was published in November.

But, as we have seen many times (most recently at this year's Russian Championships), not everybody who qualifies actually goes. Many things can happen in 2 months that can prevent you competing - injuries, splits, just plain withdrawals...

However, since people want to start predicting, I suppose I can post the qualifying lists, and use the disclaimer I always put at the end as my get-out-of-jail-free card!

And then, when the official list comes out, I'll edit them down like I did for Russia.

Just give me half an hour or so to get the tables and ISU Bios sorted

Well, it took me rather longer than expected, but I now have now converted the qualifying lists into tabels, and posted them in the original post.

Another thing that held it up greatly was that there are so many couples that have changed partners since they last competed internationally. Here are the Bios I have used for them:


Hope this helps

Sorry for my oblivion re whatever happened at Russian Nationals, to which I paid very little attention. If many of the qualifiers dropped out, I was not aware.
Hope that the U.S. qualifiers list does not lead anyone playing the GS game astray -- obviously not my intention.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the stats for 2014 U.S. Nats. For better or worse:
  • 19 of 20 men who qualified did compete. The exception was Lysacek, b/c of injury.
  • 12 of 13 pairs who qualified did compete. The exception was Simpson/Blackmer, b/c of their split.
  • All 21 ladies who qualified did compete.
  • All 18 dance couples who qualified did compete.
  • The two exceptions above were public knowledge by Dec 20, when you used the list of qualifiers for your OP in the Game thread (and noted the exceptions, of course). ;)

Good luck to all the 2015 skaters and to all playing the GS game. :)


Well, it took me rather longer than expected, but I now have now converted the qualifying lists into tabels, and posted them in the original post. ...
I will quote below what I said to you in last year's thread, b/c my feelings have not changed :bow::
I am not playing the game, so I should not stick my nose in .. but I really cannot help myself #SorryNotSorry:

CL_fan, I must say that I think you are going waaaaaay above and beyond the call of duty to provide hyperlinks to the many, many bios.

To save yourself a lot of trouble, I think that it would more than suffice simply to offer links to the four ISU pages that in turn provide the bio links for each discipline.
And a link to the IceNetwork general bio page where one can search by name for individual skaters. ....

I for one encourage you not to go to such extraordinary lengths.
Just setting up the basic structure of the game (apart from the bio links) as you are doing is a sizable contribution unto itself.

In any case, many thanks to you and to all who make the GS games happen. Even though I don't play, it is fun to keep an eye on the game threads.

Sorry for my oblivion re whatever happened at Russian Nationals, to which I paid very little attention. If many of the qualifiers dropped out, I was not aware.
Hope that the U.S. qualifiers list does not lead anyone playing the GS game astray -- obviously not my intention.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the stats for 2014 U.S. Nats. For better or worse:
  • 19 of 20 men who qualified did compete. The exception was Lysacek, b/c of injury.
  • 12 of 13 pairs who qualified did compete. The exception was Simpson/Blackmer, b/c of their split.
  • All 21 ladies who qualified did compete.
  • All 18 dance couples who qualified did compete.
  • The two exceptions above were public knowledge by Dec 20, when you used the list of qualifiers for your OP in the Game thread (and noted the exceptions, of course). ;)

Very interesting statistics, Golden.

For the record, here is what hapened in 2014 Russian Nationals:

  1. Sasha Proklova was the 4th reserve in Ladies, as she had only scored 12 points in qualifying (very surprising, given she is one of the top Russian Juniors). Yet she was put through to Nationals in preference to the girl that had qualified 18th (Daria SUSHA, who had scored 17 points), and the 3 girls ahead of her in the reserves list.

  2. In Pairs, the couples that were 7th, 8th and 9th on the pre-qualified list were all missing. So, both reserve teams got competing.

I will quote below what I said to you in last year's thread, b/c my feelings have not changed :bow:

Well, since you are taking a trip down memory lane, I think I should do the same. ;) :biggrin:

Wow! I wasn't expecting such praise. There really is no need!

The thing is, I am not providing anything that we didn't have during the GP Game. The difference is, during the ISU competitions, the links are provided on the Results Pages. All I am doing is providing them in an alternative place.

It always winds me up that the Results Pages of national Championships do not provide any information about the competitors. And when you are trying to make predictions on skaters you are unfamiliar with, it really is invaluable having information about them.

I just thought that since I was looking up all the Bios anyway, I may as well add the links to the post while I was doing it! Like, it does not take a lot of effort - just copy on one page, and paste onto the other. It only takes a couple of seconds for each skater.

The TV schedules, on the other hand, take an awful lot more time and effort. And, I do find making them out is draining.

But I enjoy trying to help people out. The way I look at it is if I want to look something up, then chances are that at least one other person wants to look it up as well. And, what is the point of have 2 people doing exactly the same thing?

Although I am the one that is posting all this stuff in the lead up to each round of the Game, I am not actually doing that much otherwise.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I would have quoted the whole reply, except the next line was about somebody else doing the spreadsheet, and I am doing it this year!

But I stand by the next bit of the comment - it is the scorers that are doing the hard work! :bow:

In any case, many thanks to you and to all who make the GS games happen. Even though I don't play, it is fun to keep an eye on the game threads.

I know! Although I try to avoid looking at other peoples' predictions before I make out my own, once I do, I find it very interesting to see what other people are predicting!

Although you are not playing, I am glad that you are still enjoying the Game!
