2016 Team Challenge Cup - Gen Info/Pre-chat

[winky97]

I would be hoping that I don't get slotted against Medvedeva

 

[sabinfire]

Wouldn't you think that some top level skaters that were not invited or voted in would be upset that they could not participate for the money prizes?

Nobody is upset about this. All of the top skaters who aren't participating at TCC declined the event.

 

[Layback11]

Well, I'm getting my money's worth and watching the backstage. LOL. Wow, this is extremely awkward, but I'm glad I get to see the pairings.

 

[Layback11]

Christopher's placard save was funny. This background music is unnecessarily epic...

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I'm so glad I'm watching this!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Layback11]

They misspelled Shoma's name on the placard! OMG..."Shomo Uno"? Seriously?

 

[Icey]

I'm so glad I'm watching this!!!!!!!!!!

where are you watching?

 

[sabinfire]

Getting serious 80's game-show vibes.

 

[badknees]

Didn't he just say something about strategy? But then they place the cards up there without knowing who it is?

Boy, I don't get this at all.

This like a game show with placards falling down!

Kristy doesn't even understand this!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

where are you watching?

I just went to the IN website. Or are you wondering if I'm at home or not I'm at home in case that's what you meant

 

[Layback11]

"Glorified cheerleader" What even is this event...

The captains seem to be having fun with this ridiculously awkward interview. "Don't fall over is always a goal"-great quote from Christopher.

 

[winky97]

The team captains will just tell the skaters "Don't Suck"

 

[badknees]

Is there anything known about who's judging?

 

[Icey]

They must have spent hours planning this!!!! LMAO Where's a translator?

 

[Layback11]

Christopher is a riot

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Is there anything known about who's judging?

Besides us?

 

[winky97]

Captains are randomly putting the cards up and see when it's flipped over who they put where

 

[sabinfire]

Let's meet the laaaaaadieeess!

 

[el henry]

I have this horrible fascination. It's like a car wreck.

Love me some Christopher Dean, but how did he get to look so old? *I* don't look that old.

 

[badknees]

Seems to me with so much prize money on the line the sponsors or the heads of this event would have taken this more seriously and figured out what the heck they were doing with this event!!
I'm thinking this is quite unprofessional.

But I guess I'm taking this all too seriously but wow, it seems really badly done.
Why bother to do this if your going to do it this poorly?
