Subject: Now, I'm kind of new at this, but it does seem easier for boys to qualify. However, once they get there, the dancing has to measure up. It's not like the mediocre girls can beat the best boys. Often, even the best girl can't beat the boy. Some truth to it, but
In reply to: MW Mom 's message, "There's a nasty posting on the MW Board about the boys having it easy for worlds qualifications. Such a bummer. I really think the boys in my ds' competition are fabulous and competition is fierce. Zero margin for error in a small competition. Glad to have found this board!" on 09:31:24 12/02/08 Tue

[> [> It is easier for boys to qualify, definitely. That is a function of the relative numbers of boys and girls in the sport and doesn't have anything to do with "fairness" of the qualifying formula. What would be unfair, in my opinion, would be rigging the rules in order to reduce the number of boys going to major competitions. That makes no sense on any conceivable level for the ID powers-that-be, which is why the few discontented message board posters can complain till they turn blue but remain irrelevant. The rule change they seek will never happen. -- Geoff, 11:16:43 12/02/08 Tue [1]
