In reply to: OD 's message, "Hi, just a quick question. Grads competition, One dancer has excellent timing but not so good footwork the other dancer have excellent footwork but not so good timing. Who would you give preference to good timing or good feet?" on 05:30:47 09/13/10 Mon

Depending on the error, I would tend to award the clean team over a team with errors, unless the error was so small and the dancing that much better.

Clean dance without perfect form; it's always stressed how important it is to catch the errors. Then there's the question of error or (NT) -- embelishment?!?!?!, 16:58:32 09/13/10 Mon
- I had a team with World champs on it really embellish 3 tunes in one part. (they added a turn). I took off for it and didn't place them first and the examiners told me that was right. (NT) -- ., 17:20:48 09/13/10 Mon
Definitely when it comes to ceili if there is an error they have to be deducted marks. (NT) -- OD, 00:44:56 09/14/10 Tue
