Wait, weren't there suppose to be a limit to one of each AIN max per event? Like at the olympics?

Both AINs have the same entry limits as any other ISU member. If a competition's entry limits are based on previous season's results (like JGP, (Jr) Worlds and Europeans), they'll have the minimum number of entries (one), but if there are no limits or the limits are the same for all ISU members (like for Senior/Junior Bs, Challengers or Grand Prix events), they can have more than one entry per event.

I do not see this list when I click your link above.
Thank you for listing the names otherwise I would not see them.

Looks like the ISU is meddling with the design of their event pages. The ones for the JGP already look different.

 

[dorispulaski]

And they are buggy as heck, sad to say.

Yeah I hope they work on the entry lists a bit more. No proper order in there and substitutes not marked as such is annoying.

 

[dorispulaski]

Heck I would settle for the back arrow successfully taking me back to where I was rather than dumping me to my home page every time.

 

[dorispulaski]

Not to mention randomly freezing my keyboard, so I have to reboot.

Or refusing to allow copying of program data on my phone.

Omg, I need a stream for this event. Now, this looks like a proper season opener.

you mean cranberry cup wasn't ?

 

[Kittosuni]

Zhilina! Im so curious on how is she going to perform here.

Let's be honest .. but the level in KC .. is from another planet (except in dance ...).. a competition between japan and AIN

Let's say it was a low key event.

I was being sarcastic . I'm very not happy with how early cranberry cup is, not attracting many skaters and still upset that we lost Autumn classic in Canada

I think we should have both Cranberry Cup and Autumn C!assic. And I have been to Cranberry Cup 4 years in a row. Its a beautiful rink and a very laidback atmosphere. I do wish Cranberry was at least a couple weeks later.

Exactly! So what's the explanation for why it's soo early?

I'm glad you've had nice times there
