Honestly... In this kind of situation if they were let complete the competition- most of the skaters would be in better physical condition than within a few days after the tragedy. Because when you realise what happenned your body will react a bit later, most of them would be weak in a few days, weaker than now. I can't even imagine what they feel right now, there are French skaters, they must be heavily affected. I don't know what is the right decision in this situation. I wish they take a wise one.

I think so. Probably in the line-up and forgot to take it off.
I am certain this was a prepared post set up in advance that they simply forgot to cancel.

Hmmmm ... Nov 13 is the date/time stamp for the all the TEB Results pages.
Don't know the significance of that or lack thereof. Just mentioning.
Could be nothing. The time stamps seem to correspond (more or less) to when each of the SP/SD segments concluded yesterday -- so maybe the time stamps automatically got carried over when the SP/SD Results were copied to the "overall" Results pages.
For reference, I am recording below the time stamps shown as of now -- so we will be able to tell if/when the pages are updated/"finalized" in some way later.

I think it's better to go with SP standings than coming up with a measure that is no going to be fair for everyone. Probably they can let each skater decide whether to go with SP standings at TEB or to have another shot at COR or NHK? Well, the skaters enrolled for NHK and COR might feel unfair tho...
Maybe if the TEB skaters could skate there, but have them be in a separate results classification?
I doubt something like this will decided anyway, though.
The ISU was willing to hold a judges only competition. They issued a statement at one point saying they were working with the authorities and that was one of the options being considered.

Agree with others that it must have been a pre-scheduled tweet.
4:31 AM - 14 Nov 2015 [this time stamp is for the Pacific time zone in the US]

Letting the SP results stand isn't any more "unfair" than for example enrolling the TEB skaters in the last two comps, therefore creating much more stacked fields there as compared to the first three competitions. So anyone who had the luck to be already done with their events (like Chock/Bates) has an unfair advantage compared to those who still need to skate. It will be also very tiring for the TEB skaters and create a logistics nightmare. There are no good solutions here anymore.

Can't they delay by, say 2 days in Bordeaux? Maybe things would be calmer by then?

Maybe the ISU could organise a small two day event between the NHK Trophy & GPF.
I know it would be awkward but if any of the skaters wanted to qualify for the Final then it would be a good opportunity.
It's a total mess but I really think it would be unfair to have the SP results as final standings. The sport is based on two programs.

What about Euro 2016 (soccer) will they cancel it too?
Given the situation I can't think they can control all the people going there.

Maybe we should wait nd see, sure ISU is already looking in what to do.
I don't think it's that unfair, to be honest. It just shows that one can't just let oneself screw up half of the competition. Not gonna lie, though, I'll be disappointed if I don't see Patrick in Barcelona.

Apologies if this has already been posted - official ISU Notice of Cancellation
Why? SP results as of now are only SP results. Every skater showed their best at that day and time. We have no idea waht ISU will count as a final result, my guess that they will arange LP skates for participants at later events (if skaters agree to do so). Basically not every skater should agree to go to a different event for the sake of free skate. Only those who has a desire and are able to go to GPF according to their skill.
What has that to do with the value of people and their passports? Satire is an art movement. The intention of satire is not to make fun of something or somebody. Satire can be humorous but it's intention is social criticism. And I believe that Charlie Hebdo has to continue their work particularly in times like these. It's important.

Yeah, it is easier for an organization to go with what they've got rather than coming up with a new solution.
Well, to be honest, I dare say that it is only GPF not the Worlds.
Prevailing thought in Bordeaux is ISU Council will meet Tuesday to determine how Bompard results will be handled. Could be sooner, though.
