Very interesting. So, who has the edge, the B team with Hughes, Kirk, Meissner and Rucker, or the C team with Corwin, Liang, Nikodinov and Csizny?Joesitz said:Sandra Jean Rucker - Group B; Bebe Liang - Group C. Why?
One of last year's criteria for Team B was: "Places 2-4 in senior-level events at the U.S. Championships" and S/M were 4th at 2005 Nationals.euterpe said:But what is the reason for Stiegler/Magerovski being in B?

Because CoI and USFSA have the same criteria for selecting who's the best skater out there.attyfan said:The skaters in Envelope A are the ones who just so happen to have toured with COI, aren't they? Why do they also get the most money?

Thanks for the update. I am glad to hear it. And welcome to the forum!IceDanceSk8er said:Loren and David are ready for the season. David is completely healed.
But your competition placement is all the "objective" evidence you have.Bebe should be in Team b, so do Loren and David. USFSA should pay attention to the skating quality, not just one competition's placement.

* Consideration for those in last year's envelopes not qualifying this year.
* Consideration for skaters not named above with high potential as evidenced by performance at regionals or sectionals.
* Consideration for pairs or dance teams, who are formed in the 2004-05 year, based on the results of designated summer competitions and input from members of the International Committee and international/world judges. These skaters will be added to this envelope only if they are assigned an international competition. It they medal (top 3) at an assigned competition, they will be elevated to the Team C Envelope.
* Consideration for singles skaters who compete at summer competitions with input from members of the International Committee and international/world judges. These skaters will be added to this envelope only if they are assigned an international competition. If they medal (top 3) at an assigned competition, they will be elevated to the Team C Envelope.
