About to begin. If they follow the rules as written:
1. Only Kaori/Mai/Rinka can be sent to Worlds, as they are the only people to qualify for selection
2. No pairs team can be sent to 4CC (participation in Nationals is mandatory without exception, and the champs are age ineligible)

I've never really understood the need to announce assignments immediately after the men's competition. Couldn't the announcement wait until morning to allow ample time for discussion?

As a huge, longtime fan of both Kazuki and Kao I would definitely choose to send Sota with Shoma, then split the remaining WC spot and three 4CC spots among the other 4 who qualified
I'd say the 3rd Man sent to WC should be the most consistent (in order to keep 3 spots) but...well...yeah~
'nuff said

I would be fine with Shoma- Kazuki- Sota for WC and Shoma-Koshiro-Shun for 4CC. It won't probably happen, i know.
Kao qualifies too
Which is one of the reasons I originally wanted him to be sent to JW
One less Senior Man to consider

I don't see the point of sending Shoma to 4CC. Let someone else get the international experience.

But I mostly agree with your picks except I'd send Kao to 4CC instead of Shoma

I think that will be the 4CC team. In years past, 4th place finisher goes to 4CC over bronze medalist. JFed may also pull a joker’s wild and name one of Sato or Miura to Junior Worlds. They named Sato last year, but he had to withdraw.

And I agree that top two at Nationals shouldn’t both go to 4CC if they are also going to Worlds.

Yes, he can go to JWC, even though i prefer Shunshun to go.
If ShunShun had bombed Nats, I'd still be saying send Kao
I'm worried that Nozomu and ShunShun won't be able to earn max JGP spots for next season
But he did well enough and I feel he deserves to go

4CC is a big title despite not having the same reputation than euros (euros has a better reputation for the wrongs reasons imo).
It looks good on the resume. The winner deserves to go if he wants to.

Shoma didn't go to the last two 4CC so if he wants he really deserves to go.
I am just sad for Yuma because there is no way he is going to make any of the teams this season .

Yuma doesn't need to make any of the teams this season
He needs to rest and fully heal so he can comeback strong and healthy and make the teams next season

Shoma needs time to break in new boots rather than go to 4CC.
Yuma has a foot injury which is why he was avoiding toe jumps, his whole mission was to go to home Worlds. As 2-time silver medallist he's shown his consistency... when healthy
