So basically, it”# a a set of ISU approved domestic competitions?! Why call it GP Series then? 

Domestic competitions with domestic scoring, but GPF qualification criteria still unknown. What can go wrong?

Girls from Korea are screwed I guess?

Unless they are allowed to attend GP NHK.

But there are many other skaters who would be barred from this GP-ersatz.

They either go to Japan or China, I guess. If Jun lands among Japanese boys... oh boy.

He’s unlucky. Or... lucky - he can just skate at domestic competitions. 
why don’t they just cancel the whole circus until 2021 at least?

To sell at least some TV-rights?

As a viewer I'm not against at least some skating on TV, cuz who knows how regionals will be covered. Interesting what skaters think about it? Though I guess the participation will not be a mandatory.

buhuhu NHK is in Osaka😭

[FlyingCamel]

Hmm... if they do it this way then how are they going to do Grand Prix Final though?

Quote

There will be no overall standings in the series - everyone will participate in one competition, not two, the criteria for reaching the final are not yet clear, this will be determined later.

Told ya Skate Canada would become the ice dance GP. 

 

By what the ISU said there, Yuzu can only go to SCi and NHK - and SCI would definitely only be if the restrictions on travel ease up.

Oh, thank goodness. I was envisioning a Sophie's Choice scenario for Yuzu where he would have to either do the traumatic CoC without coaches, or have Nathan at both GPs and have to go into the plague zone for SkAm. Either NHK or SCI is much better.

I propose another fan poll to chose who gets to go to GPF. It can't be that much worse than whatever method they'll come up with

Yes, but Yuzu would win all the spots. I know he'd try mightily, but I just can't envision him doing pairs or ice dance all by himself...

 

Joking apart, it's not a bad idea. 

 

IMO there won't be a GPF( I know ISU said they have to have it. But we'll see.) 

 

Now to sort out 4CC, if they can. 

 

Also, NHK with only Japanese athletes and maybe some Korean ones? It's going to be a bloodbath, especially in the women's. They're all so good.
