Does anyone besides me think we could be doing a better job matching teams and helping skaters look for partners?
The PSA partner search at Nationals is a cattle call. Not well done at all. The USFSA seems to have the knack of choosing all the wrong skaters to participate in its partner tryouts. Short boys and tall girls, etc.
In the meantime, boys get offers daily, but who can afford, timewise or moneywise, all those individual tryouts?
Tapes are unreliable. Coaches and parents have hidden agendas. What is a poor partnerless skater to do?
