If you do not want yearly results to be taken into account for the envelopes, on what basis would you judge "potential future development?"
If assessment of "potential future development" were to be purely subjective instead, politicking then would become a thousand times more problematic.
BTW, if Mariah had placed fifth at U.S. Nats, she would have qualified
I'm not saying ignore results. I'm merely suggesting that ....
Per the envelope criteria, Mirai qualified for Team B because she was the third alternate to the world team.
...isn't really a result nor something I feel should be a deciding qualifier. I'm more thinking of the program as a whole and not just Mariah vs Mirai. Also...how do they decide how many to find in each envelope because the men and women don't seem to hold the same amounts.
