Has she represented another country? Could it be a release issue?

 

[yesterday]

They withdrew.

oh, they just put that wrong in the scoring? Okay, sad but clearer now.

 

[yesterday]

Schaller/Mayr WD as well - but here it really says WD in the list at least.
Wonder if the Italians will also WD so they can have an all-American tournament

edit: nope, they skated and are in the lead 62.08

Well, she is from Sweden, but they just competed 3 weeks ago

Ghilardi/Ambrosini won both SP and FS. 180.47 overall. Problems in the jumping passes in the FS. Twist (their twist is often problematic) has GOEs all over the place (-2, -2, -1, +3, +2).
Chan/Howe are second (174.09). They got a time violation (-2 deducation). Issues on the solo SBS jump and in the final lift.
Plazas/Fernandez advanced to 3rd.

Does anyone have any insight into why Tilda and Gab were disqualified?

As Tilda doesn't have Canadian citizenship (as far as I know), she would have to reside in Canada for at least a year to represent Canada at international competitions. Tilda first arrived in Canada in October of last year (based on her IG posts), so she'd still have a month to go to fulfill this specific requirement.

This rule applies for Single. For Pairs (and Ice Dance) it is enough one of the two skaters fulfills it.
Rule 109. Point 2a and 2b. Page 114.

So we still have no clue. Personally I thought she had the intention of representing Sweden as they have only one senior pair. But I guess I was wong.
