True--but given that we have evidence of LOTS of cheating, any perception of impropriety is just not cool at this point. And not smart. I'm surprised a judge doesn't get that. Like AP said--tone deaf. -- New England Irish Dancers

[> [> [> Subject: I don't understand the correlation to cheating. Dancer was not going to receive a score, just comments. She was not going to receive a placement.

[> [> [> [> Subject: I think you may have missed the point. Inside the first reply, that writer said: ""I witnessed this same adj (along with another) come over to the bleachers and hug two spectators at the conclusion of the previous comp. Again, unprofessional and I am sure uncomfortable for parents who had children in that comp and were worried about fair judging".

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: I agree--judges should never flaunt the fact that they know people in the comp. Of course they may--NER is very small. But why go out of the way to SHOW the whole comp that they know some of the dancers. Whether that impacts their scores or not (hard to imagine it wouldn't), it is going to raise suspicions of biased judging. We just don't need that right now.

[> [> [> [> Subject: She was placed in her first round but was not at awards. Not dancers fault at all (stunning dancer) but felt wildly inappropriate to see AD chase her and her mother into the hall. Was gone for 5+ minutes.
