I finally had a chance to have a closer look at the selection procedures document, and it left me with a few questions...

1) Is there no longer a limit on the number of entries a country can have per discipline per event? I could have sworn there had always been a limit of three skaters per country per discipline per event in past seasons, but I'm not seeing any reference to this limit in the document. (It does reference a limit on the number of skaters the host country can have, but that's slightly different.) If the ISU is getting rid of this limit, that would be fantastic news, IMO.

2) Section 12, which describes the Alternate List, is so vaguely and poorly worded, it could drive your crazy. Does anyone know the actual methodology, in detail, that will be used to rank the Alternate List skaters, including Challenger Series winners? Also, has the ISU posted an initial Alternate List yet? I believe they were supposed to within a couple weeks of the announcement of initial assignments.
 
re: 1) - I think the country limit is in a higher-level document, it’s referenced within the selection doc (“excluding any skaters from [ISU] Members already included in a maximum capacity”)
