I would really like to know if people really think that judging is corrupt in ID. If it is what is the point of it. Noone outside the ID world really cares, so it doesn't hold any real power outside. does my head in, trying to think why anyone would bother to fiddle, if they do, or is it just sour grapes. -- For the love of the dance

[> When my dd started Id I never heard of corruption, but as she got into Championship, I heard it more and more and to be honest I just couldn't understand what was going on. But to be honest at every competition depending on the adjs you know whos' won whether they are the best on the day or not. I know judging is subjective however sometimes the results are known before the dancers have even danced. Sad but very very true. -- parent, Tue, Apr 24 2007, 10:26:06 [1]

[> Any competition where the judging is subjective you will have 'fixing' or just dodgy results whether it dancing, sycronised swimming, skating, showing dogs,showing goldfish or showing garden veg. The world will not change and life is not fair. So we have to learn to live with it. -- jaded but realistic, Tue, Apr 24 2007, 12:01:30 [1]

[> [> I know what you mean about wondering why people bother to "fix" results. The only thing that I can see is that the ID world is a relatively small community and I think there are a lot of "favours" going on. For example if an adjudicator is freindly with a particular teacher they may place that teacher's dancers higher. Or on the flip side of that if an adjudicator has a particularly bad relationship with a particular teacher maybe they would be inclined to place their dancers lower. I don't have any direct experience of this it's just an observation but it seems to me that who you know inthe ID world or who you dance for can be quite important! -- Dancer's Mum, Tue, Apr 24 2007, 16:35:26 [1]

[> [> [> I think that many of the times it may not be favours as you call it but as the adjudicatos are friends they are more aware of the dancers in the other school. As we all know the standard in most age groups is excellent and very close and sometimes all that is required is some adjudicator to remember you for whatever reason. -- Adjudicators are not all as crooked as parents think., Wed, Apr 25 2007, 9:26:55 [1]
