the warsaw cup is a novice and junior level competition. the good novice and junior usa skaters would have been doing their sectionals last weekend.
i think this competition would be open for usa skaters to apply for and pay for on their own, if the skater and their family were so inclined. like a lot of the young international competitions or whatever it is being called this year. although the usfsa was focusing primarily on international competitons next feb to apr 2008, weren't they?
