We were just saying the same thing. If the organizers were concerned about crowding (and they have asked us to please limit spectators), then why would they insist on having three comps run concurrentlY? The third comp in the morning HAS to check in before the first comp starts (instructions sent yesterday). This guarantees way more people in the ballroom than there would have been if they had run as separate comps. -- New England Irish Dancers
