Hey all. The USFS surprised me by posting the schedule on their site first. So I'm still getting it all typed into the ANs site. But you can view it on their site under the Programs > Adult section:

http://www.usfigureskating.org/Programs.asp

Keep in mind a few things before the snarking begins:

1) The days start very early and run very late due to a lot of competitors coming and many skating in multiple events (Chris Williams alone is in FIVE!).
2) Due to IJS being used for all events Gold and above, all IJS events run on the West rink, and the other events on the East rink.
3) Due to the referee being very cognizant of trying to keep everyone's Official WarmUp as close to their event as possible, not everyone's WU is on the ice they are competing on (mine included). It is what it is people.

Once you know your schedule, if you have signed up to be a volunteer, please contact the volunteer coordinator, Les Ascher, asap to set up your volunteer times. Forms and contact info are here:
http://adultnationals2007.org/contact.html

Thanks!

Thanks manleywoman! Do you happen to know if they (or you) will also be posting when/where the official warmups will be?

The announcement is also available through the USFS Events page for AN.

Well, I'm not thrilled with possibly skating at 7:45 am on Wednesday. However, someone on another site pointed out that it is 4:45 am their time! Then I realized that it is actually 8:45 my time, so I guess I won't b**ch.

I am happy that Im skating mid afternoon. I get to sleep in and relax, warmup, watch the champ gold men then start getting ready to skate.

Yes, I have to admit I am a little relieved that I am in late morning. No snarks from me!!

Me too! I don't function well early in the morning. I skate mid-afternoon, the perfect time for me!

Oh, brilliant analysis. The 7:50AM gold pairs event is kinda early, but now it is nearly 9AM EDT--much more doable.

I actually like my events schedule for once

My interp (Interp I Artistic/Dramatic) is the 1st event on Thursday at 7:00 am and, since I have no QR for freestyle, I don't have to skate my freestyle (Bronze I) until Friday at 1:35 pm!

Wednesday will be a nice enjoyable day for me

I for one am just happy to participate, and this schedule mirrors the tentative schedule nicely so there are no surprises. I doesn't seem that 7 is too terribly early, like most I have done 4am practice ice and for one comp I was the first person to compete at 6:30 am. We get to be in a really fun city and the event looks to be well attended, what more could you ask?

Wait a minute! How did they do that? They actually stayed pretty close to the tentative schedule! It must be a different ref than the one from Dallas!(tee hee)

It does look like Saturday night will be a late late party night! I will be ready to party!

Now if I can get may skating together enough so that I will have a good time on the ice!........

Hiya MusicSkateFan are you doing Bronze Men this year?

Moved up to Silver III, TimDavid. I passed both Silver MITF and Freestyle the day before the entry deadline.

The Bronze III title is up for grabs!

I recently placed 1st in the Silver Mens Freestyle at the DC area CRC competition. I am doing the WFSC Adult send off exhibition on the 31st. Being a new Silver and no axel in my program I don't think I will be much of a contender. My plan is to stay low, skate fast and see what happens.

CONGRATS!!! You work so hard on the ice. No worries if you dont have an axel, just work on presentation to balance it out and hopefully make up for the missing axel.

Whats the rest of the results for the Silver Men

Good question (the event this year was held at MtV, my home rink).
The comp was the weekend right after Easterns, and I like to take a lil' break after competing.

Well, I'm very happy because I'm skating around noon on Friday! Also, no qualifyer for Silver I! But, now I have nothing to do Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! Anyone want to be my bleacher buddy? Maybe we can organize a meetup? Visit the city? Baseball game?

The LOC is looking for volunteers. PM me and I can get you in touch with that chair.

manleywoman,

I heard on another skating forum that Erin Westphal was the volunteer coordinater for AN's this year. Are Les & Erin working together to get the volunteers organized?

Thanks!

I take it we won't be seeing you do the European triathlon any time soon, then? Three events in as many weekends.... and many people do more than one event (we dancers don't get a choice! Two rounds for us, even though nobody is dropped from the first one - and two dances in each round, at the lower levels).

Yes. Erin works during the week in Minnesota and is only in Chicago on weekends. Les is local, and we needed someone local to be able to attend meetings and work here. So they are working together. Email Les if you want to volunteer (see my 1st post) as he's collecting names.

Yeh, I only do one event when I compete. Freeskating. I get tired very easily and I like to save all my energy
