Looking through the US entries, and I'm pretty sure that Logan Higase-Chen is a placeholder, and that'll change. All the other entries seem likely to stay as listed.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Ikura!!!!! And Rachel Samiri (but USFS might swap her out, depending on results). Very excited for these two, because I wasn't sure they'd be getting an assignment.

Also, skaters without names because the new website doesn't display them without a bio and they didn't populate the old websites (and probably won't, just like they didn't with the Challengers ).

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Just to let you know, although the Provisional Entry Lists haven't been uploaded to the ISU Results pages yet, the skaters who are on the lists for Abu Dhabi are marked on the overall Junior GP Standings pages.

EDIT: Just saw @saine's post. I hadn't refreshed this page since I opened it after dinner time.​

Ikura

It would be better to give her 5th Event (instead of Murakami), if Kishida skates good enough - also 7th Event for her.
Generally, 6th and 7th Events for Japanese girls who had better result of their first Event.

 

[lariko]

Omigosh, seeing Long with the second highest score there is both awesome and scary.

Generally, 6th and 7th Events for Japanese girls who had better result of their first Event.

Unfortunately 5th Event is conflicted with domestic Ice Dance competition (Chris Reed trophy Sep 23).

Ikura!!!!! And Rachel Samiri (but USFS might swap her out, depending on results). Very excited for these two, because I wasn't sure they'd be getting an assignment.

Also, skaters without names because the new website doesn't display them without a bio and they didn't populate the old websites (and probably won't, just like they didn't with the Challengers ).

I was hoping Rachel would have a chance to skate.. Her FP is wonderful

 

[FlossieH]

I am surprised and pleased to see Alice Smith getting a 2nd JGP spot.

 

[FlossieH]

I was hoping Rachel would have a chance to skate.. Her FP is wonderful

I was impressed with Rachel Samiri at the Robin Cousins Cup (sadly the stream was taken down at the end of the day, as is the norm for BIS, so you can't watch it now).

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I was hoping Rachel would have a chance to skate.. Her FP is wonderful

Rachel is a very unique and lovely skater, so pleased for her. It's just that there are so many US girls competing for these JGP spots, so I wasn't sure they would end up chosing her this season already.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Hmm. I’m pretty sure Takahashi was originally assigned to JGP Baku. I know I’m not tripping because I remember thinking he has two head to heads with Seo Minkyu. Not sure why he’s been switched; I know JFed enough to know it has nothing to do with the match up.

I’m not surprised Kushida gets the last spot for Japan because the alternative would’ve been to leave the spot empty. (I wouldn’t have been surprised by this either.) All the other girls have second JGPs already and with the standards Japan has Kushida was the only remaining option. She’s been sorely missed and I hope she does well.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Also, skaters without names because the new website doesn't display them without a bio and they didn't populate the old websites (and probably won't, just like they didn't with the Challengers ).

The Provisional Entry Lists are now up on the old ISU Results site.

And it's a good job too. I have got to the stage that I don't even look at the entry lists for the Challengers when they are released, because the new site is so bad. I just wait until either @AlexRus' or @dorispulaski's versions of the lists appear on here, or until the Entries / Results page appears.

The drawback of the Entries / Results page is that it doesn't include the substitutes, and who is included as a substitute and where they are positioned can actually be revealing. For example, the fact that a skater that I was expecting to get assigned here is not even amongst the substitutes has led me to believe that they are injured, and that their inclusion as the last substitute for the earlier events was more a case of hope than anything.

So thank goodness @dorispulaski has always included this information in her OP's.

And well done to her for continuing to do so despite all the difficulties that these new pages have created for her. She has more patience with them than I do!

Not very much patience...just dogged stubbornness.

I am so annoyed with them. And now there is a Microsoft sign in required to view the Planned Program Content pages. I have to find out what this means and where I have to register to view them.

I am registered in Microsoft, but when I enter login and password, it accepts everything, but then a record appears that the login is impossible and an error code is indicated. But this does not give anything. If you find out something useful, please write here.

 

[dorispulaski]

Yes, that is exactly what happened to me.

Ella Hawkes (RSA) and Vasilisa Bogomolova (CYP) are no longer listed for the Women's event on the ISU site.
