Thanks, I am a little confused about how the "A, B, C, and reserve team lists" work? Why is Caroline Zhang on team C? What did I miss, did she make a age regulation recently?????

Is this a "running list?" - not just this event, or has nothing to do with events.

I was interested in the fact Kat Hacker made the reserve and Taylor Firth didn't? Katirina and Taylor both have style I love, but I would say that came as a surprise due to Kat not skating at Nats.???? I guess I just don't know something.

Because the new team envelopes won't be announced/published online until after the USFS Governing Council in May. The 2006-07 team envelopes are still in effect until then -- link to THIS season's criteria: http://www.usfigureskating.org/shell.asp?sid=30630

So, I wonder once they meet will Zhang, Mirai & Wagner move up to team A and bump some of the seniors down.

Zhang, Nagasu and Wagner should all qualify for Team B based on the envelope criteria for the 2007-08 season. I've compiled a projected list of Teams A-C based on the published envelope criteria and can post in The Edge forum later.

I'm sure a Japanese or Korean will win the women's division

I think it will be a European or Japanese for the men.
