Could someone please explain how the Flora Lynagh medal points are allocated especially in the case of the Gold Coast Feis where there were 3 adjudicators points to tally.

Another question about flora lynagh medal, which competitions contribute points towards this? Is it simply AIDA feises, or all local ones, and are States and Nationals included? -- not sure, 17/06/09 3:22:51pm [1]

These questions will never be answered. They use to announce in the program if it was a Flora feis or not but when you look at the total points awarded at the end of the year then divide them it appears the all feis are included except the state. Excluding the state is fair as it gives others a chance to win a flora instead of just the state champion winning. Yes not every year the state champ win state and Flora but it gives the rest of us a chance if state is excluded especially if one of the for runners miss a feis then we can catch points up. I just work on how many 1st, 2nd etc a dancer gets. It gives a good indication. But you are right how do you work on individual dances when an overall place is given -- Points system should be advertised. Why is it a big secret. I am one for an open honest system that way ppl can not complain. Honest and Open is always the best policy except in this case if we don't know how its worked out then sorry but it can always be rigged there is potential for tampering., 17/06/09 6:36:39pm [1]

I am sure AIDA members know the system therefor they would have a good idea on how their students are scoring for the award therefor tampering wouldn't happen. I just wanted to know how the points work for a Championships such as the Gold Coast Feis ? A regular feis would just have scores for 3 dances where the Gold Coast Feis has scores for 3 dances from 3 judges PLUS the overall result. -- Could an AIDA member please respond. I know many AIDA members read this board., 18/06/09 11:21:21am [1]
I believe this is being looked into by the committee

Would it not make sense for the total of the combined 3 judges scores for each dance be counted as 1. So then only3 dances. Add the 3 judges places for the slip jig and come up with 1 place. It should have already been done since the overall place would have been based on each dance -- or give 4 score that ass towards the flora tally. All 4 that were announced. Slip, Heavy jig and Set + the overall place., 22/06/09 12:45:28pm [1]
