I really wish the scoring page provided time details and/or group/resurfacing info. Trying to figure out how long this event is going to be is basically impossible.

[elbkup]

Following the thread only.... Glad Avonley and Vadim did well so far; they always seem calm when they leave the ice after a peformance... also looking forward to "seeing" the Browns and Greens..

 

[Nathan13]

The yellow "Ollie's Bargain Outlet" sign on the boards is super distracting.

 

[oly2018]

I can't wait for tango season to be over. I don't know how much longer I can take the open and close your mouth like a fish brand of emoting.

 

[Nathan13]

I can't wait for tango season to be over. I don't know how much longer I can take the open and close your mouth like a fish brand of emoting.

Do we have a pattern for next year yet though? It could be worse (i.e. Cha Cha)
