Blades on Ice mag has updated their news briefs for Feb. Included - a bit on Euros, wrap-ups of German and Japanese Nats, and a bit on the planned protest at Worlds.

There's a good deal about the scoring system and the ISU council's debate in the Euros bit, along with a scoreboard fiasco at the pairs event. OK, I know U.S. Nats had a problem during the mens final, but at least that problem was understandable to the average viewer, was fixed right away and didn't affect the final results. Can you imagine if things like this happen at Worlds? Or maybe it wouldn't be so bad, b/c then everyone could see what a disaster this "new" system is.
