Subject: Irish points and the 9 judges averages
In reply to: 's message, "Judges score at Oireachtas in Indy" on 00:16:32 12/05/20 Sat

This is why there are 9 different judges for each competition. The average placement of the 9 is a true representation of how a dancer performed that day. It’s a subjective sport and the majors have 100s of dancers in one competition, it’s expected that one judge might place a dancer higher than another based off of what their preference is. Som judges are big on timing, others like technique, others like spunk. The trick is to be a skilled enough of a dancer that you’re style is pleasing to all of the judges.
The dancers in the top ten are accomplished enough that a particular judges “preference “ doesn’t play a significant role in their placement. Also the Irish points system is less significant for the bottom 50% of dancers, so try not to fixate on the numerical placement if it wasn’t in the recall range.
If you have more questions, I’m sure your teacher can help explain the Irish points.
