it is obvious that you have to split for the first rounds. My dd danced in a comp of 300, split 150/150. If they had danced ALL 300 in one comp it would have taken at least 4 hours per round. The AD's would need a lunch break so that means 9 hours. Add best part of an hour to collate and check the scores, and announce the recall. Assuming an 8.00am start that takes us to 6.00pm. Recall of 30% (say 100 inc ties) would take about 2 and a half hours. Add at least half hour for scores etc. So results "might" be ready at 9.00pm. Presentation would possibly finish at 10/10.30, assuming no glitches. -- For the love of the dance

In reply to: Stop the splits please! 's message, "It's not fair at all! How can having 2 champs and an extra 2 qualifiers for an age group be fair? It would be so easy, as described above to have a definite North American Champ, and much sweeter for the winner too, to know that they were the best in their FULL age group. They have at least 6 halls running at this event, the Worlds has 1 main hall and a set hall, and copes with the numbers, with NO splits!" on Thu, Jun 28 2007, 0:04:58

[> [> [> [> [> Yes split for the first 2 rounds ONLY...using the same adjs for the same rounds, ie heavy/light......but use their scores for the recall and do a smaller recall and get a REAL Champ. The results don't come out till late anyway, no matter what time you start dancing! Been there from 7am - 1am the following morning at some NANs, with a dancer dancing the next day and not staying near the venue!!! -- UKmum, Thu, Jun 28 2007, 15:19:22 [1]
