I'm tied for 129th with 160 points. (I'm also seriously calculator-dependent: I calculated my score by hand and I only came up with 142 points.)

Anybody else part of the 1047 players? How about the two teams tied for first place with 184 points?

I'm also playing, but I'm quite near the bottom. My pairs teams just didn't do as well as I expected. Oh well, many more events to go!

I'm playing too... tied for 263rd at the moment (154 points)

I'm tied for 487th. I'm puzzled, because I picked Inoue and Baldwin, but the pick didn't show up, and I could have garnered lots of points for them. Oh well, it's only for fun.

Glad I looked last night - you can't even get on the USFSA website today.

When will we be able to make our picks for Skate Canada?
Sorry for the ignorance, but this is my first year doing this!

Usually, the new pick card is up the Monday before the competition.
Maybe they're having technical problems or there are roster changes.

You can see an unofficial roster here (http://www.isufs.org/events/fsevent00009360.htm), if that helps.

whoo hoo - I rocketed from 487th to 84th!

That was a big jump! Great picking! I only went from 129th place to 91st overall.

I don't understand the "cumulative points" though ... if I had 158 points from Skate America and Skate Canada gave me 184 points, why are my cumulative points 198? Shouldn't it be (158+184)=342?

The Cup of China sheet isn't completed yet, so maybe the USFSA staff haven't finished tallying the final results of Skate Canada yet; I'll check again tomorrow.

Well I dropped to 328T from 191T...someone had lead skates!

Lead skates - you're funny!
I still don't understand the numbers, glad this is just for fun.

The Cup of China pick sheets are online now.

I dropped to 307th... not yet sure who to pick this week.

I'm 307th as well! I was 487th for Skate America, and 423rd for Skate Canada.

I don't know several of the names for Cup of China, so it will be interesting to see how this one turns out!

Okay, I'm done with my picks for Cup of China.

Lots of names I didn't know - several were last year's Junior competitors.

Reminder: The competition starts tomorrow, so you have to submit your entries today.

Cup of China results weren't good for my fantasy team.
I'm ranked 111th out of 1306 players overall. (611th for Cup of China alone.)


Better luck next time, right?ETA: I've noticed that the number of players has increased from the first week;
I don't know if that means you can still register or if previously registered players only started submitting recently.

The game card for Trophee Eric Bompard is up!

Wow - Cup of China was great for me! From 307th to 54th (and 7th in the Cup of China segment)

Now to see if I can repeat that success this week...

I just got back from vacation and found that I went from 680-something to 482 as I was 168th for Cup of China. Hopefully this week will help as well!

Whew! Just remembered to register my picks for Trophee Eric Bompard. It starts tonight, so last call for entries!

BTW, there's only an "A" and "B" pool for Ladies in this competition. Should be interesting.

Have to remember not to become a gambler - I'm no good at picking skaters or horses!

For the Harry Potter fans among us, there's a team in the USFSA Fantasy Skating called "Team Horcrux." They're doing quite well; must have something to do with having multiple lives! LOL
