Western U.S. Region Irish Dance
Welcome to the U.S. Western Region Irish Dance Message Board!

Score sheets - are there specific rules in place they are to be immediately -- No name, 07:36:29 03/09/24 Sat [58]
And securely taken straight from the judges tables safely, securely in an envelope to a secluded private room to be tabulated by feis worx or whatever entity is working the feis?

I’ve seen it happen this way, where the feis runners were actually guided with another person delivering at a major tabulated by FW.

Am curious why the recent feis was different.

Hi - first time traveling overseas for a competition can I purchase tanner at a Worlds vendor? -- More inside, 17:02:55 03/13/24 Wed [5]
I'm not sure if I can rely on finding tanner there, or do I need to check a bag just to take tanner along? Thank you for any other travel advice you can offer.

Help! Dancer has wide feet and bunions… finding shoes that work is near impossible. Anyone else dealing with this struggle? Does anyone have tricks they can share? So far I’ve purchased Rutherford, Fays and Feis Fayre, all wide. Current shoes are 2+ years old and about to die. -- No name, 20:33:15 03/08/24 Fri [2]

Replies:

Have a vendor recommend shoes in-person at the next feis. If the dancer is a kid, their foot shape has likely changed since the last time you bought shoes anyway! (NT) -- No name, 18:24:25 03/12/24 Tue

Can someone explain the WR rules for moving from PC to OC? Three wins but must they be in the same calendar year? Within 12 months? Other? -- No name, 19:52:47 03/05/24 Tue [8]
I’ve heard and read so many different versions of the rules including the 12 month clock starts over with each win.

What’re you on about? They have dancers registered for the next local-ish feis (NT) -- No name, 17:35:12 02/19/24 Mon
They are closing (NT) -- No name, 16:08:22 02/20/24 Tue
- Sorry to hear that. Are the dancers stuck with a ban. (NT) -- No name, 16:11:00 02/20/24 Tue
  - Yes (NT) -- No name, 13:19:05 02/22/24 Thu
    - I thought ban wasn’t required for schools closing? Doesn’t seem fair (NT) -- Not the kids choice, 15:21:47 02/22/24 Thu
      - What about those that qualified for worlds? Doesn’t seem fair. (NT) -- No name, 15:31:19 02/22/24 Thu
      - Surely this isn’t the first school in the west region to close? Haven’t the dancers always served bans? (NT) -- No name, 09:03:29 02/25/24 Sun

In the past they didn’t split at 20, but maybe if it gets to 25 (NT) -- No name, 14:56:46 02/16/24 Fri
- New organizer so maybe? (NT) -- No name, 19:57:12 02/16/24 Fri
I don’t know that the regional rules allow for this, but hopefully they can split to U14/U15; the younger age groups are apparently tiny! (NT) -- No name, 11:34:16 02/17/24 Sat
- What exactly are the regional rules on this? (NT) -- Never seen such a rule, 06:50:41 02/19/24 Mon
  - They’re only allowed to combine two competitions; it would be interesting to see if they can combine 2.5 by splitting the third comp. (NT) -- No name, 10:06:49 02/19/24 Mon
    - Huh? Feis committees split comps all the time (NT) -- ., 12:57:21 02/19/24 Mon
    - Often syllabi will state that splits/combos are up to the feis committee (NT) -- No mention of regional rules, 12:58:48 02/19/24 Mon
      - That’s what I was told were the regional rules when I asked a feis organizer about the possibility of combining 3 age groups. “Discretion” just means that they can choose which ones to combine/not, not how many can become one comp. (NT) -- No name, 17:39:29 02/19/24 Mon
        
        combined -- No name, 18:04:34 02/21/24 Wed
        
        It’s U13 both days for prelim, and U14 Saturday for open. Not U15 (NT) -- Maybe get facts straight before being snarky?, 20:14:47 02/21/24 Wed
        
        Open is u15 Saturday. No one is snarky. Relax (NT) -- No name, 11:10:40 02/22/24 Thu
        Prelim is U14/U15 on Sat with 18. (NT) -- No name, 14:57:13 02/22/24 Thu

We didn’t. It took me all the way to confirm reservation and kicked me out! So rude. (NT) -- No name, 12:18:05 02/21/24 Wed
- Same. (NT) -- Poor planning, 15:25:46 02/21/24 Wed
We got a room. (NT) -- But it shouldn't be this hard., 13:56:26 02/21/24 Wed
Nationals -- No name, 18:48:35 02/21/24 Wed
No luck for me, but since I'm now at one of the more "remote" hotels, does anyone know if there's free parking next to the Gaylord like there was in Nashville at the mall next to it? If I have to get a car, I'd like to avoid paying $20/day parking at Gaylord. (NT) -- Thanks!, 09:29:38 02/22/24 Thu
- There is nothing next to the Gaylord Texas -- ., 13:15:28 02/22/24 Thu

Feis San Francisco was lovely! Thank you to the hosts, volunteers, teachers and dancers. -- Beautiful day of dancing 😊💕, 07:59:34 02/19/24 Mon [1]

Can we stop talking about local school rivalries now and talk about TattleTreble calling out cheating at WRO? -- No name, 13:18:11 02/14/24 Wed [13]
I feel bad for the kids learning their parent/teacher didn't think they could do it without cheating. Poor kids. Remember, at the end of the day, squabbling, cheating, boycotting... the kids are the ones who get hurt.

You are assuming the below posts are from school rivals, I guarantee you they are not. Bottom line is do you support cheating or not. (NT) -- We all have choices, 14:06:22 02/14/24 Wed
- yeah, mixed in with the San Diego schools trying to stab each other are us unconnected people who don't want to support cheating. Enough with the rest! you guys are making fools of yourselves. (NT) -- EFRA, 14:35:32 02/14/24 Wed
You can still dance, it's a beautiful art form. Now that the corruption has come to light, who believes in legit honest judging? If there ever was such a thing. (NT) -- it's the cheaters who have damaged ID & the kids, 14:09:44 02/14/24 Wed
Yup new drop with K OC and RF texts for cheating (NT) -- Wr, 14:20:48 02/14/24 Wed
- RF & her cling on's were tight with GD. I've seen the favors but yet if anyone ever said a word you were accused of sour grapes or your kid isn't good enough, meanwhile it was all nothing but a lie. (NT) -- ., 17:49:31 02/14/24 Wed
In retrospect those 2019 WRO panels were something else. It’s a shorter list to name the non-cheaters! (NT) -- Gutted for dancers who felt they weren’t ever good enough, 14:30:40 02/14/24 Wed
The adjudication selection process favors mega schools and cheater rings. When you have a gang of 20 teachers voting for a cheating judge, what can the small schools do? (NT) -- Logic, 17:40:57 02/14/24 Wed
So we have a clear case of a western region school asking for and getting results. I assume that CR and Rose will be boycotting their next feis since you keep saying you won’t support cheaters (NT) -- No name, 19:53:15 02/14/24 Wed
- They don't have a feis anymore though, so not really any boycotting to be done there... (NT) -- No name, 20:55:20 02/14/24 Wed
  - ^^lots had already stopped going because of dollar store awards (NT) -- Cheap plates and scary looking stuffed animals, 09:48:23 02/15/24 Thu
    - Those plastic plates looked like something you serve dino nuggets on for your toddler. (NT) -- No name, 10:13:11 02/15/24 Thu
Plain as day, poorly done photoshop editing -- Y’all believe everything you see, huh?, 06:14:25 02/19/24 Mon

RF and KOC also now exposed in the cheating. Unbelievable and she is judging the worlds what a JOKE -- TT Truth, 21:48:27 02/14/24 Wed [8]
They’ve rigged results with GD for years! All the old cronies in kahoots. With this knowledge finally revealed why would anyone ever attend? The corruption is absolutely disgusting. These so called judges have no f’n shame.

Once again the cheaters, liars a scum are revealed. I'm disgusted to have ever had my kids ever be part of irish dance. When I think of the abuse endured in class and at feis (NT) -- only fed the tc ego at my dancers expense, 12:04:35 02/10/24 Sat
Mr. Hobby is hosting a feis in San Diego but yet suing CLRG? Nice hypocrosy. (NT) -- cheater claiming to be a victim, 13:07:41 02/10/24 Sat
