It's in order of qualification. So for instance in the men's, Johnny will go first and Nobu will be last. And even more strangely, S/S will be in the first group in the pairs, because they qualified as the fourth team.Question that I didn't know where else to put; what's the starting order of the GPF determined by? World ranking? Or ranking in the qualification for the event?
ETA: I wrote that B/A would withdraw and didn't know that they'd already done so. Wow, I have psychic powers! This was a mean reaction to it, but really funny.
I decided to just to go with statistics to and see how close I come.

Man, I hope that's wrong (Wagner in 6th, that is)

Looks like the majority (including me) do not think that Ashley and Alena will medal. It would be very funny if they both ended up on the podium.
Great Analysis... Looked very possible. but i think we should wait for the final line up and decide the ranking, especially since so many athletes are withdrawing due to injury
Hmmm....
Men
1. Nobunari Oda (3, 1)
2. Evan Lysacek (2, 2)
3. Daisuke Takahashi (1, 3)
4. Brian Joubert (5, 4)
5. Jeremy Abbott (4, 5)
6. Johnny Wier (6, 6)
Hard to say. Takahashi has the highest score ever, but he's not known for his competitive steadiness (and it was 4CC, which people are inclined to dismiss for it's high scoring. Lysacek (of all people) has the highest PCS of the year. What's remarkable if how varied this line-up is but it doesn't even hint at the depth this season. If last season was any indication, Abbott tends to peak quite early, so maybe he's more of a threat? Oda certainly seems the safest bet at this point, and Lysacek is steady enough a competitor to succeed where headcases don't.
