Subject: ceili Author: OP [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:59:36 06/21/10 Mon In reply to: :( 's message, "It is a great idea and I would attend the feis with these age groups, were it not for the fact that doing so would mean I couldn't participate in adult figure/ceili competitions for 5 years." on 06:49:42 06/21/10 Mon Yes, what they would need to do is change the adult ceili to over 18 age group also, then I think you would be okay. If they don't offer "adult" comps inthe feis, then you are free to do the and-overs without penalty. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

(NT) -- It's tough., 21:56:31 06/22/10 Tue ? don't understand this -- OP, 08:27:09 06/23/10 Wed Not only does only one region have this 5 yr rule -- in the know, 11:02:33 06/23/10 Wed Exactly. This is what I was told by somebody pretty high up inthe NAFC organization at that time. If you want to try and-overs but don't want to sacrifice your adult standing, choose a feis with no adult comps, and the and-overs is, by default, your competition. (NT) -- OP, 18:55:21 06/23/10 Wed Yes, yes, yes! I heard the same thing. But how I wish this were in writing somewhere, anywhere! It would calm a lot of people down, reassure them that we don't want to cheat or anything, we just want to dance. (NT) -- *sigh*, 06:44:29 06/24/10 Thu My experience with this- -- OP, 08:17:19 06/24/10 Thu Great, and important, story! -- would love this, 13:38:51 06/24/10 Thu It was Patrick Short, who is now chairman of the board (NT) -- :), 20:45:39 06/24/10 Thu Yesssss! Thanks a million! You hear that, adult dancers? You CAN dance in overs at a feis that doesn't have "adult" levels and NOT sacrifice your adult status, according to the chairman of the board!! Woo-Hoo! (NT) -- writing this down..., 08:05:07 06/25/10 Fri
