Do you know if the synchronized skating envelope info was available?

Thanks.

[vesperholly]

It was but I do not have it. All I remember is that Miami U and Haydenettes were the only Sr team in Team A.

What is the purpose of the Envelopes? Assigning comps?

Given that Hughes won't be competing, and Michelle is highly unlikely to do any GP's I think they need a majore update.

From the USFSA site:
"The envelope level is used to determine funding levels for ASUPP. It is not used as a strict guideline for selections to international competitions - skaters in envelopes A-C will be selected as needed. If Reserve Envelope skaters are selected for a Junior or Senior competition, they will be moved to the C Envelope (with additional funding) if they medal in the selected competition."

ASUPP = Athlete Support (last year's criteria - still to be updated for 2003-04):

After the post-Nationals speculation about Johnny Weir (that he now wouldn't make any of the envelopes because he withdrew), I'm glad to see that he made it.
