got it... but then if you really want to avoid superfluous posts, just delete without a trace... i think the thumbs up feature allows up to concur without postingin other words (will that make me redundant ??? LOL) when I see I have repeated something, I delete my post and give thumbs up to the similar post
Fine with me that you do things your way. Meanwhile, I will continue to do things my way.
If you don't like how I do things, that is your problem -- not mine.
I was about to go back and re-edit my previous post to offer the following non-redundant (IMO) information for those who still have not grasped the rules.
But instead I will add it to this post.
The OP of this Day 1 thread and the OP of the Day 2 thread have complete explanations of the prize money for each day.
As others have said, no team results and no individual results from Friday carry over to Saturday. Nada.
Separate prize money for each day.
The only effect of Friday on Saturday is (emphasis added):
The emphasis of this event obviously is the team aspect.
On Saturday, bonus money for individual entries is only for the top pair in the FS and for the top ice dance couple in the FD.
No bonus money on Saturday for men and ladies.

Evgenia has been competing all season too and she just gave another perfect skate. However, I also think Radio has been wonky and sloppy most of the season. Russian fed should have sent beautiful Anna here.
But it's not up to the Federation. The Captains nominated skaters and the fans voted for their faves. And Elena won. Evgenia ended up going as replacement for Liza who withdrew.
The captain didn't know that Anna would do so well at the Worlds. Too bad Anna peaked so late.

I think the answer is No, but I am not 100% sure.
WTT is an ISU competition (along with JGPs, GPs, and ISU Championships), so WTT scores are counted for PBs.
TCC is recognized by the ISU in the same way that lots of other international comps are recognized by the ISU.
But TCC is not in the same category as ISU events such as WTT.
Who is that?
I didn't catch his name...it's Rusty? something, but he seriously straight up sound like a game show host.

I didn't bother getting up in the wee hours as I couldn't guarantee I'd get any decent stream to watch. Damn!!!!
Well done, Shoma! So proud of him!

. Marissa's dress must be really lucky 3/3 clean SPs while wearing it!
..... I don't know how he did it.... I hope he does it again
As usual, here is my personal ladies summary that I do all the time. One thing I'd like to say was that overall each of the top 5 ladies were overscored by at least a bit though.
1. Evgenia Medvedeva: No surprise with another lovely and enjoyable performance here. I really liked it! The score though...(sigh)...whether the scores here counts towards SBs or PBs or etc. or not, I (as always) have a big problem with the scores she receives, and I'll stop here since you all know what I'll say anyway.
2. Ashley Wagner: I loved the small improvisations throughout! The clapping in the camel spin, the "I can't hear you" part, and many more. I'm sad to say farewell to my favourite SP of the season. I do think her Worlds performance was a bit better though, so I'm not quite sure why the score was a point higher.
3. Satoko Miyahara: I predicted even before I saw the video that she'd get about 73 for a clean performance, and that's exactly what happened!
(my predictions game results are terrible but my personal predictions are great! 
). Again, it was good to see another great Firedance and I hope she carries this momentum into the FS too.
4. Gracie Gold: Overscored again, but expected. Nice thinking putting the 3T even after the lutz pop and not suffering what Rika got. After all the talk about her being ashamed, I really want her to skate well tomorrow and end the season on a strong note. Go, Gold Girl!
5. Gabrielle Daleman: Like Ashley, her Worlds performance seemed better, but anyways, I like all the jazz and fun she puts into this program. I'm happy that now the base of her scores have increased by so much, so we'll be seeing higher scores from now on.
6. Elizabet Tursynbaeva: Yes! Finally she lands that lutz! The whole program felt more alive too, and a clean performance of it really impacts the enjoyment of it.
7. Roberta Rodeghiero: I like that she improved more on the performance aspect, but I'm still not into this program. Kudos to her for another clean skate, though!
8. Elena Radionova: Being the fighter that we all know, her fall on the improvised combo was for me both a shock (because she usually lands these) and not a shock (obviously because it's improv). Overall it wasn't a good skate at all, but I love that she kept going and sold that footwork along with the final spin.
9. Rika Hongo: I forgot about how mad I was about the new SP pop rule until now. I had many problems with it earlier this season (So Youn Park at Finlandia and Liza Tuk at Skate Canada) so I felt really bad for Rika here. If it wasn't for that stupid rule she would've not been in last. Again, good job for selling the footwork though.
So the SP results don't contribute at all to the FS other than determining the order? That's pretty odd.

Well, there's only 3 teams, somebody has to be in the last place...
Because pairs/dance perform only FS, I guess. So the contribution of singles and pairs/dance into the final score to be even

Question of the day:
Has any non-asian skater gone through growth as well as Radionova did? Ever? Remember that she is still the most stable Russian woman on the senior scene since Irina Slutskaya and has the most major competition medals.
She can still earn 60+ even with a bad skate. Lets see how well Medvedeva does next season, Armenian (and Caucus women in general) aren't exactly known for being thin and lean.

Why not ? It's an official ISU event, and it's a competition. And men and women do short and long programs as in any other ISU completion.

"Reaction from her teammates"
I suppose it isn't exactly "healthy" competiton there. Anyway, Radionova has lost her ease and I hope for her that she'll get it back. Radionova without her ease for me is like an empty shell, I'm sorry to say that. And that shell is a very pretty lady, but only a mediocre figure skater. I hope that she'll be working on important things like posture and grace in the off season, I still think she could be great. She's very talented after all.
Medvedeva was flawless, skated like the WC she is. :thumbsup:
I didn't like Jason's bodysuit. I don't like those colors on him, but I'm being shallow and I liked his program.
And good skate from Roberta!
Shoma is a smart guy going for that 4F at TCC. He's making sure we won't forget im over the summer!
