Maybe they should do like the football do for champions league and seed areas. The stronger areas (SR, Ulster) have more qualifiers. Maybe base it on the number of medal holders for the last 2 years! -- For the love of the dance

In reply to: What do we think? Keep it nice! 's message, "Just observing that in some regions in particular age groups I only recognise the top two qualifyers and in some cases only 2 or 3 schools really feature in results. In the SR and the midlands, there is such a large number of schools and top dancers, a lot of these do not qualify. It is difficult to accept that when some of these dancers recall at every feis (top ten) and would normally come ahead of some dancers who qualify every year due to their small region. BTW you can't rely on the BN's as a secondary qualifyer. London alone houses almost 20% of the countrys population so it stands to reason there should be a higher ratio of qualifying. I know it is due to entry numbers but to win out of intermediate in SR is excruciatingly hard (high numbers and only 1st place moves up). I'm not putting anyone down but just think it makes sense when we see results and we know it is a travesty some people should be competing at the worlds, and others are very lucky due to geography!" on Sat, Nov 17 2007, 2:00:37
