He watches on the TV.

(Hey, remember me from YNKF, os? Have I grown up?)

Of course I know you dear You were quite young then?

Happy 20th Birthday Emmanuel Savary

Max certainly has nothing to lose here. If he skates clean he can move way up. Not really an Olympic chance but definitely for redemption and self pride! Go Max!!!

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Can someone explain the slay counts?

if someone has a bad SP and a good FS and overtakes people ranked higher than them in the SP it's "slaying" them
so slay count = number of people slayed

Been looking forward to Sean's free program since last Nationals

Can someone explain the slay counts?

How many people here have beat someone else's score?

(I did a Bradie Tennell one during the SP and an Alysa Liu one during the ladies' FS.)

Can someone explain the slay counts?

Not totally sure, but think it's when a skater underperforms, it is attributed to those who never fall, or slay the others. This competition we have Bradie, Camden and Alysa as the slayers so far.

Do you think Max will hang around after this year? I'm thinking he's done.

Oh dang!!! That’s cool, you can follow along and get a RT score update.

Technology these days, huh!

Wow I feel incredibly old now LOL

 

[sabinfire]

NBCSN started their coverage so I'm here now!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Lol I called it that the first year they had the live protocol scoring because it was fancier than any scoring we'd ever have.

For Moeller, he was in 20th after the SP and has now beaten (total scorewise) the skaters in 17th, 18th, and 19th after the SP. He'll finish no lower than 17th now.

For Bradie/Alysa, people are just showing how the lower ranked men are scoring lower than the highest ladies.

In fact it is my powers of prophecy at work, mwahahah. This is why I am in fifth after the ladies on predictions

My predictions involve putting everyone's name in a hat and picking in order. For the GP, it works.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Ohh, DuPage... Chicago boy

 

[skatefan17]

I think Alysa may slay again.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

great combo
and then... a pop

 

[synteis]

Fingers crossed Max can have a good skate, for his sake. And I have wine now.

Just in time for more warhorses I'm sure.

 

[OS]

Oh last of the mohican love this OST especially the fiddle part, and had a total huge crush for Daniel Day Lewis then..

It's so fancy!!

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Now THAT is an interesting and difficult transition...

Rather than the quads (which are all nicely done so far), it seems the 3A's are the mens nemesis tonight. :con3:
