Subject: Unlike figure skating, there's laid out requirement in the scoring from each judge.

One year, DD's competition had a dancer fall twice in one of the rounds. The floor wasn't slippery. Two judges scored her well for that round, while the third judge placed her nearly last. She fell again during the third round, although the judges wouldn't have known that. She qualified for worlds.

She is an absolutely beautiful dancer with a lovely technique. She just can't seem to be able to execute it without frequently losing her balance. One judge seemed to feel this was a huge issue and scored accordingly. The others were more forgiving. Irish dance is the most subjective sport I can think of. There are no laid out judging criteria, which makes every judge a wildcard.

[> agree-it’s crazy! i do think there should be points for difficulty and execution—but again each judge is different and one may like the style of a dancer and others not so much.... -- just a subjective art, 08:41:02 12/07/20 Mon (162-226-182-228.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net/162.226.182.228)

it’s like artwork—one person may look at a painting and love it, while others may find it unappealing....
