It seems that there is never a good panel at the Worlds. At least that is what we are always led to believe. You will never agree with all the results, and yes there are sometimes some judges who are not able for various reasons to do the job as well as others would expect them to, but as long as the competitions are so large and the standard generally so good, we are always going to have discrepancies in judging. It is a hard job taht the adjudicators do and I believe that the majority do a very good job to the best of their ability. -- World of Irish Dancing Message Board

Replies:

There are complaints EVERY year, most of them generated by the fact that some dancers didn't place as high as their fans thought they should have while others w/o as much name recognition did well. There are occasions when one judge's marks seem totally off from the rest or when a judge will give 0 to someone the others had in top 3, or 100 to a dcr everyone else had at the bottom (I've seen both). Both those scenarios (more) -- it's human nature, 14:59:52 23/04/07 Mon
