It really doesn't matter how perfect a location may be if they don't bid.

Bingo. Hosting a GP is expensive and it's hard to make the event profitable.

Where are these places and why didn't they bid if that's the case? Remember as well that there was a last minute date change, which no doubt caused a scramble.

I had a long drive yesterday and started listening to the Lore series. OMG. :rofl:

I'm having a tough time seeing how this could rationally apply to an ice dancer within one season of work. Let's say they exceed expectations and win both of their GPs, the GPF and any Senior B's they enter - it's still ice dance, an obscure sport with a limited global audience. So that's...

I usually keep a small amount of cash in my car for such purposes. I you have a valet key or setting, you can keep it in your locked glove box that the valet can't access. Otherwise, just take it with you and return it when you get your car so that it will be there for the next time.

LOL - shows how much I pay attention.
