2008 US Nationals schedule (still preliminary & unofficial)

[Sylvia]

Someone from the XCel Center in St. Paul recently phoned me to let me know my all-event ticket seat location and gave me the following TENTATIVE / STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE schedule for the Novice, Junior and Senior events. Times may still have to be tweaked in the future based on the final number of competitors in the junior and senior events.

All Times CST. All events will take place in the XCel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.

no practice schedule yet, I take it?

*sigh* I need to get on the ball and order my tickets while they still have some lol

 

[mpal2]

I didn't realize that the practice pass is only good for practices at Xcel Center. Anyone know why they changed it?

 

[Tonichelle]

whoa????? didn't realize that either! but I remember a rumor going around a couple years ago suggesting they would be doing something like that soon... not cool IMHO, though really I never went to the other practices anyway lol

Latest Nationals Schedule

I picked this link up from another forum. It is a grid schedule for Nationals which shows the warmups and competitions. Practice info at Pleasant Arena is also shown, but is not available to fans.

I don't like the way the ladies are split up this year. What's the point in that?

 

[Tonichelle]

probably for TV purposes.

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Can anyone print the NBC Schedule for this thread?

Sat. Jan. 26 2-4 LIVE Nationals (Pairs Long) NBC
Sat. Jan. 26 8-11 LIVE Nationals (Ladies Long & Free Dance) NBC
Sun. Jan. 27 4-6 LIVE Nationals (Mens Long) NBC
Sun. Feb. 3 TBD Nationals (Exhibitions) NBC

per HEather's Figure Skating Schedule - http://heatherw.com/mk/sch.htm

that's the only breakdown I have.

one thing about it, those of us who have trouble taping nationals and the pro shows don't have to worry with nationals being broadcast on NBC there's no conflict of times

Looking at the schedule, anyone notice there's a 30 min. resurfacing time between the Free Dance and the 2nd group of Ladies? I hope they use that time to show the top Ladies' SPs.
