 Ok so there are some people really against the time thing.
However, there were some very strong arguments against the qualifier that were not put on this board.
The proposal seemed like a good idea at the meeting, but if alot of people are against it then yes, a proposal that works is the best way to go.

The reason I think the qualifier has advantages, despite cutting number of occasions to perform, is that there are a definate number of people taking part for preparation, and the people that did work alot harder at offbeat all year, feel like the gained something, rather than oh I came 6th, they can at least say that they were one of the few teams to qualify for the nationals.

Paying more is not an option, as entering ballroom does not ness. mean a lower standard. I have a range of people that did alot of tap and jazz and irish and all sorts before uni, that could make a fantastic offbeat between them. But they did not because they were all beginners and had enough work to do in the few hours of practice that we had! Paying more is not an option!
