Go to http://www.lakeplacidskating.com/new...hips/index.phpand it has an updated schedule, and spells out what all the events are. And A/D means Artistic/Dramatic (as opposed to Light/Comedy)

Please don't get out there if there's any risk of 'killing you'. It's not worth it. I too had surgery this year and was prepared to sit out the season if any complication arose. Fortunately, all worked out well. I was off the ice for a month. (hernia repair) But honestly, I'm just starting to feel myself and it's been 3 months. Give yourself time and see you at AN.

Unfortunately, you won't see me there this year. I've just returned to the ice myself, after being off for 2.5 years. I had to have some major knee surgery that has a 2 year rehab period, minimum.

Not sure when I'll get back to competing. <sniff> I hate missing the trip to Lake Placid too. Last time I was there, you & I had some fun in the Tenth Anniversary Gala, huh? Stilts and straightjackets! Fun!

The link points to an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. If you have the PDF reader installed on your Mac it should open just fine. If you don't have the reader installed, you can get it at adobe.com

In case no one noticed, a new schedule was put up on 3/20.
Same location, just updated file:
http://www.lakeplacidskating.com/new...hips/index.php

They moved my Pairs practice to the same rink as the comp.

No skater lists!

At one point, I asked M.E. Wright at the LOC if skater lists for the events were going to be posted. She replied, "Sorry, that would violate the privacy of the other skaters." I wonder why this doesn't stop Don Korte from sharing skater lists with us for certain comps in MI and OH....

As the chair of an all-adult, we always put out a list of skaters by event. For one thing, to make sure we got it right!! Skaters know who should be and shouldn't be in events by age/level/etc.

But, there are lots of events that don't put it out beforehand. They usually don't at Regionals, Sectionals, etc.

It really doesn't matter. Show up, do your best, and cheer for everyone else!

As to the privacy angle, hmmm.... Then, why are the starting orders posted in the rink?

Thats a shame skatenum .. I remember that and I give you a lot of credit for being able to skate with that jacket . Its a lot tougher than the stilts and lot more dangerous . It was very cool.. Im going back to the Doctor today to determine if another surgery is required , If so IM out , if not Ill be there..

Uh. . . Then why are the final results published online?? That's even more of an invasion of privacy (especially for those who didn't place well!).
Skaters need to know what groups they are in, since some events have group A and group B skating at different times of the day or even on different days! How can you schedule your week without being able to see what qualifying group you're in?

OMG!!! I won't miss the Championship Masters Women's event after all!!! Well, okay, not quite. It would depend on which Interp group I'm in and how long it takes to get the results and how I do. I'm not expecting to medal in either event, so I'll probably look forward to watching it! But *squee*...

Of course, the schedule will be kinda tight between me and my primary coach's other skater in the technical if he wanted to show up for her 20 minute warm-up... he would have to run like hell to make it on time to my FS event!!!

I'll be there for the week. Because of knee problems, I'll be skating at most one session a day and will have lots of free time. So if anyone needs any help at practice or being put on for an event let me know.

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Will you be available for healing some ailing death spirals (BiDs = death)?!

Good point. Regarding the group A and B thing. I have that situation on Friday. I'm just going to assume that when I get there Thursday they will be able to tell me which group I'm in.

My coach often has this close of a conflict. She's had as little as 30 seconds between skaters at the two different rinks in LP and has made it without problem.

In the last few years it appears that they have been dividing the quarter finals down by age. The younger group has been A and the older group B (or C). Of course, it could be different this year.

Yes, IIRC, there's actually a competition rule in the USFS rule book that stipulates dividing qual. groups this way for qualifying and national comps. (I had wondered the same thing last year and looked it up last year. No idea what the rule # is.)

that helps me figure that I will probably be in group A for bronze 3, but I'd like confirmation of that all the same.
