Unfortunately, no
(I have to take an amtrak train in 2 hrs), but I'm glad you're representing us there

Is this math right? That means with a clean program including 2 3As she would only be a couple points ahead of someone who fell on one downgraded 3A attempt?
Young You’s lutz also was downgraded, in addition to the fall.
Well, do the math yourself. Maybe it should be higher. The point remains the same, however, that Young's errors cost her a lot and that is why she scored so much lower than Alysa. Also, she would have gotten higher PCS with a clean program. That wasn't factored in--only TES.
Correct, she only got 1.26 on her 3Lz. With the deduction for the fall, she only got .26 for that element. That is a potential loss of nearly 7 points (maybe more) right there.

Here is a piece of advice for anyone live streaming their skating competition: either do it right or don’t do it at all. Prefer no stream to an amateur stream. It’s only 3000 people, not like a million people needed to be serviced.
Or if you need to charge a few dollars or euros or whatever for the stream, do it.
The ISU should provide a central stream service so that every international event has a steady stream. It’s not hard for them to have a streaming service available.
Yeah, I know, wishful thinking given they are still using CD’s for music.
Someome should fax them my suggestion at least.
Imagine a major sport having these kinds of issues.

I guess they still use the original model from 1843, so there can be the some compatibility issues.

I don't agree with this "advice."
I am very thankful for the dozens and dozens of hours of this week's free live streaming of Cranberry Cup, Lake Placid International, and Cranberry Open -- even though the stream has not always been reliable.
If this week's streaming had not been free, I probably would not have purchased it.
When I spend money on skating, I would much rather use it for travel costs of attending live skating events.
Even if the streaming cost had been reasonable, I probably would have made do with whatever bits of this week's non-major (but very enjoyable) events showed up on social media -- and would have saved my proverbial pennies for the far higher costs of in-person attendance at future events.
(I also have no problem with the QR code being shown during resurfacing, etc.
When I attend a live event, I like to give my full attention to the six-minute and five-minute warm-ups. But when streaming is free, it does not break my heart that the QR code has been on screen during some warm-ups.
Again, I am very thankful for the one hundred hours (approx.) of this week's free streaming from two rinks over six days.)
YMMV.

In case you didn't know, The Skating Club of Boston doesn't use CDs for music anymore. They have a sound system where you airdrop your music to the iPad connected to the system, and play it directly from there. Even for your everyday run-throughs on regular freestyle ice. (Too bad if you're an Android user, because then you have a few extra hoops to jump through.)

Let’s start a gofundme to get them a 1980‘s model. Haha

You can have a free stream and take your chances, and you can also offer a pay stream that is steady to those that want to pay for it.

That crack was for the ISU. They need to take control of the streaming situation.
To watch 3 hours and not be able to see tbe crescendo of the event is a big let down.
And this is easy: they should have a different stream for each competitio, and not one 15 hour continuous chunk, especially since there is no way to rewind on the iPad.
Thank you. Hopefully this freezes less than the original streams.Hurray, complete man’s short is now available! Looking forward to catching up to the first 2 groups!
