Subject: Not sure what’s worse? Greedy TCs or trophy chasing Moms

Looking at the feisianna on Feisweb and saw that two dancers were welcomed to open by their school on Facebook and still listed in PC to feis this month. Give others a chance! Many want to get to OC before retiring or CLRG crumbles.

Most schools have harder requirements than earning 3 firsts so trophy chasing is just blocking others.

        They could have easily gone and changed to OC (NT) -- Fairness, 17:25:01 06/24/24 Mon

        So TC said welcome to OC on a FB post but then wouldn’t let them? (NT) -- Your comment doesn’t make sense, 14:36:26 06/25/24 Tue
        Sure, maybe their school waits for the year to be up, but wanted to post the achievement. (NT) -- Dm, 15:17:17 06/25/24 Tue
Did the dancers get all 3 firsts in one calendar year? If so, -- Mom, 00:37:55 06/16/24 Sun

      - Agree- Open is a whole different level- dancers don't need to rush through Prelim! -- and trust me if your DD isn't winning, 09:05:05 06/17/24 Mon
        My daughter is consistently top 3 and needs 1 more 1st. Need to travel to feis -- So I look for best options., 20:48:38 06/17/24 Mon
        It's so hard when there aren't many nearby -- this region is lucky, 13:26:34 06/18/24 Tue

        This is the MAR region board, 3 firsts are required because we have more feis opportunities -- Dm, 12:16:23 06/20/24 Thu
        Not true, several also require 3 now. (NT) -- Facts, 18:34:44 06/22/24 Sat
        Western region here and we need 3 for OC but we have to move after the 3rd win -- It’s fair, 10:08:20 06/24/24 Mon
        Or maybe they just enjoy feising? I really don’t think kids are trying to “block” -- -, 18:09:56 06/24/24 Mon
        Um, I never said they were the only region requiring 3, but they are not required to move up -- Dm, 11:28:12 06/25/24 Tue
If all 1sts were earned in the current year, dancer has the right to stay in current level til January 1st. Our TC insists on this. She also insists that kids continue to feis. No dancer needs to move up to OC before required to just because you want them to. (NT) -- practice, practice, practice, 20:02:55 06/17/24 Mon

- How about if your DD keeps winning 1st why is she hanging around (NT) -- to trophy hunt?, 11:25:16 06/19/24 Wed
