While there is frequently data entry error there are usually quality control measures taken in the tabulations room to catch these such aas multiple people checking results entered against the handwritten results. So you would have to get an entire room to agree to falsify results and keep quiet about. Not gonna happen. There is also the possibility that the ADJ writes down a score in the wrong slot not corresponding to the dancer intended, writes down an incorrect competitor number, or ranks them different than the raw score would indicate. These are taken back to the ADJ for them to correct before posting. I suspect that your perfomance has more to do with travel, expectations and judges being hand picked by the host school to prefer their style than fraud or even human error. If you suspect human error ask your TCRG to request a copy of the adjudicators score sheet or for the hosting teacher to check the scores for your TCRG -- For the love of the dance

While a school would also honor your request to have the results double checked the courtesy would be extended more graciously to the TCRG.

[> [> As a mom of a "deep south" dancer I find this post a bit offensive. My dd is in Prelim and "feishes" in Texas and the surrounding states. Let me tell you the quality and level of her competition are outstanding. There are some awesome dancers in the SR and especially the "deep south" (think Catie Foley). If you didn't do well, then you need to look to yourself as the cause. My dd got 6 firsts at a feis in November in OPW, when she went to the next feis in Jan she got one first. That's the way it goes. -- srmama, Thu, Aug 23 2007, 17:25:51 [1]
