Pairs long.

[sillylionlove]

Ok...so now that we are all over the women's short...or are we...any thoughts on the pairs long? Can Zhang and Zhang keep first?

I think Zhang and Zhang will win....and I know that this will upset so many.

But I do have one question....with the US sitting in 10th and 12th...we will only have one spot next year? I am not quite sure how that works..I only know how they go from 3 to 2.

pairs long is showing on cctv-5 right now. Watching it from www.channelchooser.com with rather good quality..

Am wondering about that myself. :scratch:

I think the magic number for 2 is 26, so if standings stayed the same, US would get 2 pairs next year.

 

[sillylionlove]

Thanks. I really did't know how that worked. So the US should keep two next year.

Here you can watch the LP:

I hope that Aljona & Robin can win.

Come on, and show what you can!! :agree:

But I think, that it will be very difficult, because Zhang/Zhang are really good.

Total (placement points of two competitors, to get 2 entries in the following year, are "not more than 28"

I thought the rules were as follows, or have they changed? (Taken from the FAQ page on Sandra Loosemore's wonderful frogsonice.com):



" Competitors who didn't qualify for the short program or original dance are arbitrarily assigned 20 points, competitors who didn't qualify for the free skate get 18 points, and anyone who finishes lower than 16th overall gets 16 points. There is now an exception made for skaters who have to withdraw in the middle of the competition because of injury or equipment damage.

For a 2- or 3-competitor team in the previous year, 1-13 points qualifies 3 entries, 14-28 points qualifies 2 entries, and more than 28 qualifies only 1 entry.

For a 1-competitor team in the previous year, 1-2 points qualifies 3 entries, 3-10 points qualifies 2 entries and more than 10 points qualifies 1 entry."

It is very slow in updating. The ISU has really disappointed me today.

Yes, rallycairn, that's what I said---not more than 28 points for 2 entries--I posted it because someone had said not more than 26, so I thought I would give the good news that it's not more than 28.

I got my information from the ISU publication; I keep what I call "The Real Rules" lol in a notepadded excerpt, to save time looking it up.
