Potential Grand Prix Pairs

I have listed out the criteria by which Grand Prix assignments have typically been given out in the past and bolded each skater's name the first time they appear on this list.  There are 26 teams on the list and 5 additional teams who have split/retired and could receive assignments but are unlikely to compete.
