...and good grief, could they have at least put a mirror in the dressing room?

Our Club gave IJS skaters paper copies of their protocols for free, but I wondered if it would have been better to just email a pdf to the skaters after the event ended.

Then please put that in the mail. There's no excuse for charging $20 when it's so easy to verify who we are. This competition is for us, right?????

Give the USFS rep a break, she's done 3 Regionals, 1 Sectionals and ANs this year as the "credential Nazi"

There are two reasons why individual skaters' names weren't on the badges. First, a decision was made (not sure by whom) that it would be simpler and more efficient to simply have "Skater" or "Competitor" on the competitors' badges because that way a credential could just be put into each skater's gift bag, rather than matching the skaters and credentials as the skaters checked in. Also, the chair of the LOC got the complete list of skaters pretty late from USFS - I know that too, because I had asked for the list of skaters shortly after registration closed in January so that I could begin printing individualized credentials for everyone as early as possible and avoid a last-minute time crunch. However, the complete list wasn't made available until March, which would have made it tight, time-wise, getting an individualized credential for everyone as I was doing them all in the evenings on my home computer. I could have divided the job with someone else, but by that time I think everyone was pretty busy. Beyond that I don't know how the decisions were made - I volunteered to do credentials and that was pretty much all I had time for.

Then three regionals and 1 sectionals is one too many, still no excuse for being rude.

Actually, I had a good reason too. I was direction an ice show and didn't really have a choice in the date since I was asked to direct after date had been picked. Sheesh....what a mishap. Hope everyone had fun regardless thoughl |

On a better note though....how did it feel to be in Championship round? : ) |

So...
Vesper, your commentary, especially during Championship Master's Jun/Sen men was hilarious! (comment after a skater fell on a 2-sal and "rolled" over on the fall) - "I wonder if he gets extra points for a difficult exit?" So good!

I think that some of the concerns and issues raised here are worth bringing to the GC's attention, though. It might be a good idea to require the chair or co-chair of any future Adult Nationals to be an adult skater who has been to at least two or three ANs, and/or to require the LOC to consult with an ASC liaison on a regular schedule from the time the event is awarded until the event is actually completed. That might help everyone get on the same page regarding expectations. |

Ooh AZ ... I'm thinking Phoenix or a suburb. Coyotes FSC of Arizona is a pretty big club, they've had a few Regionals IIRC? |

Sweetie, I seem to recall returning the favor on Saturday night with a few nips of my specially-enhanced OJ. Not to worry, though - if I really do manage to make it to ANs with an Interp (and it may well be a version of the one I have now because I love it), I will be certain to bring the Champagne myself. Count on it. And I'll bring good stuff, too - Chandon Brut, maybe even Perrier-Jouet Blanc de Noir. Just saying.

mmmm, forgot about the OJ. No, you should not have to buy your own, the Bronze for Life pact was that the courtesy be passed down. It's tradition. Terri will honor it, or else see to it that someone does.
