but how much satisfaction do you get out of winning beginners if you're Scott, for example?
It's like some of the open comps at novice/intermediate level where there's only one entry and you win (not happened ot me, but to friends more than once). Where's the fun - and satisfaction - in that? Imagine if you're an advanced dancer and you ended up - for some peculaiar reason - in the team match final against a bunch of beginners because noone advanced had entered. Would there be any satisfaction in coming 1st? I don't think so...
