2017 Four Continents Men SP

Yes.

You know, it's a good job that it's only Fan Fets that I'm looking after. Because if I was looking after this forum and saw a competition thread at nearly 50 pages before the competition even started, I would immediately close it and ban every member with over 20 posts.

These threads are supposed to be about the competition. Hence why they are referred to as "competition threads".

Like, there are people that are not able to watch the competition LIVE, but like to read the comments afterwards, perhaps when watching a recording of the competition.

How on Earth are they supposed to find the start of the competition within this thread, when the thread is 50-odd pages long before the competition even starts?!

Yes, it's nice to chat. But, think about other members!

That sounds so unreasonable to do when you've got these crazy competitions. Way too many posters to sit through and casually read this thing without devoting hours.
 
FIFTY PAGES! WE MADE IT! :hap57:

And with four minutes to spare!

Hey Karne! My partner had a dinner party years ago with his partner at the time. They decided to serve different meats we don't usually get around here and one of them was Kangaroo. Nobody was told what they had until after they ate. He loved it!!

for what it's worth : this is a very special event and it got people talking about quads and programs... I doubt this is a trend that will be repeated, not even at worlds.

I posted a lot but I invite you to check what I wrote if you are going to call me up on it... most of it is actually related to program layouts and the actual SP. We often have a few pages before every competition thread but this one took off since everyone is wondering who will bring what... it's been for the most part, I'd say 90% of it very informative about the many contenders and how they have evolved this season, especially with Nationals happening just a few weeks ago.

Finally, it's easy enough to update the OP and say : that commentary during the actual event starts at page 50... or whatever ;)

PS
I think that many of us see this thread as a very productive tool compared to similar threads in the Edge where skater X would be compared to skater Y.... and then leading to fan wars... this thread has avoided that because many skaters were discussed and almost everyone, knowing that ice is slippery (I assume that's the reason) has been courteous when giving constructive criticism

thats actually a great idea!
 
5 groups of men and 2 ice resurfaces... plenty of time to get one's drink on.
