Subject: No one is saying they shouldnt' use birthdates as a cutoff. We're saying they shouldn't use state pageant dates as a cutoff Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:00:49 04/04/24 Thu Author Host/IP: 072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82 In reply to: 's message, "My comment wasn’t a comment on the “stupidity” or non stupidity of the rule, it was a commentary on how you were interpreting / explaining it. Another way to look at this is some to be 28 year olds are now given the opportunity to compete next year provided they are 27 at their state pageant; under the previously changed rule, none of them would be allowed to compete. There are several institutions that use birthdates as a cutoff, schools (every district with different cut off date), dance comps, sports teams (vary based on what league). I’m not for or against as it’s a rule specified by the organization and completely up to them to determine, I simply wanted to clarify what the rule actually is." on 19:41:14 04/03/24 Wed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date If you are x age by the dance competition date, you are in y category; if you are x age by the start of school, you are in y grade; if you are 18-27 by the time your state pageant occurs, you compete. It's the same thing. (NT) No name (47-201-65-158.cygr.fl.frontiernet.net/47.201.65.158) 16:32:38 04/04/24 Thu Oh good lord, I GET IT! I KNOW!!! I'm saying it's STUPID to do it according to state pageant dates rather than the NATIONAL PAGEANT date! (NT) -- No name, 12:03:36 04/05/24 Fri (072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82) By using the state cut off date, more women get to compete as the first changed rule would have been no 28 year olds; so, it appears that it's a transition to get from 28 to 27. BTW, it is difficult to understand what you know because you first said 28 year olds could compete if they weren't turning 29.
