Start Order is Up!

 

[SmileHappy34]

Do ur best . Skate well. Be content with what happens in your skating and yourself.

 

[TwinnerA]

I noticed if you tap on the hyperlink for any given skater in the Starting Order that in addition to the ISU info page for that skater pops up, a list of said skater’s short program elements are also shown. I don't recall ever having seen the list of elements there before.

 

[dorispulaski]

What a nice feature

 

[CellarDweller]

Alas, due to time zones, I will be missing the WCs live this year.



I will miss chatting with you all, but since I'm here, I will get the ice ready now!

That's great! That's the thing the ISU does best in my eyes already: the online information in real time and the bios. To have the layout in addition is perfect!

That's great! That's the thing the ISU does best in my eyes already: the online information in real time and the bios. To have the layout in addition is perfect!

Just be aware that having the layout included isn't an ISU feature. It's a JSF feature.

The JSF uses a different company (comnet) for the scoring than the ISU does (Swiss Timing). That's why the Entries / Results page and all the PDF's for the Japanese events look different to what we get the rest of the season.

Personally, I still think the best Entries / Results page design we have had was the one used for the 2019 Universiade:

https://fsrussia.ru/results/1819/universiada2019/index.html

If you click on the rows of the tables there, a whole pile of information appears at the side (a short Bio; planned and actual layout with scores; PCS breakdown; etc.) Plus, you can access all the PDF's from the front page (e.g. the Time Schedules are still there even after the Protocols get uploaded).

[LadyB]

Too early for me to watch live, but I'll catch up the minute I get up. Shouting loud and proud for Pavlova/Sviatchenko, Danilova/Tsiba, Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps, the Italians and the Germans. Have fun, everyone!

 

[elbkup]

All the best to Emily & Spencer, Alexa & Brandon, Ellie & Danny!!!

 

[yelyoh]

All the best to Emily & Spencer, Alexa & Brandon, Ellie & Danny!!!

And I am going to sneak in Deanna and Max in addition to the above!

 

[labgoat]

Good luck to all the teams! I will be at work when this starts, but will join you live for day two.
Maybe if I get home in time, I will see some of the women's short live.

The Rewatch thread is all set up here

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I’m not sure if I’ll have the stamina to last from the start of pairs to the end of women’s tonight but I’ll definitely try to catch the final groups of both! No big plans tomorrow anyway

 

[yesterday]

It's live thread time again! Everybody awake and ready?

 

[yesterday]

Who's commentating? That's not Mark. Not Ted. Not.. a voice I recognise?

e: a British woman? Female voice for sure.

 

[yesterday]

Oh, we'll have JPN hightech analysis in operation

 

[auser]

Hi everyone! I'm so excited. Best wishes to all pairs. Loving the Japanese music while announcing judges.
