I would like just to make a clarification regarding information contained in the #4 complaint at DD this past weekend. I have never participated in any conversations on these boards before but I am the judge that was reported as having a child that "competes and knows most of the kids that were there." Actually my daughter has not competed on any level in slightly over 2 years and I can honestly say that I was unfamiliar with all but two children and I don't even know those kids well enough to speak to them or their parents. I believe they used to have the same coach as my daughter is the reason I remember their names. I would like to praise all the children that participated and go on record as saying that I was terribly impressed with the level of competition that I saw in each group represented and cannot remember a single child that did not have the skills to be highly successful on any given day. Some may have been a little more polished or been "on" more that day but they all did a great job. I was sorry to read of all the other problems that had occurred of which I was unaware. I can say that we were not led by Charlotte to any particular children in any way, other than to say that there would be a high level of competition that day and to
take great care to give each child our undivided attention. I think this instruction goes without saying since anything less is rude and destroys a childs confidence. Nothing could be harder than performing for judges that clearly are not interested in what you are doing. With that said I will admit not initialing changes to my scoresheets(I think I had about 4 minor changes to mine). I apologize for this oversight (which I will never make again, by the way) but I was more worried about writing while the next child was entering the stage that I passed my sheets to the tabulator without thinking. Finally I would like to say that on the subject of LKP I think she did a fabulous job-beginning to end-and if my memory serves me correctly I scored her accordingly. There were numerous kids that stand out in my mind even now. I cannot count the number of times Saturday that I was so WOWWED by the SW and WW performances from 19-35 all the way to 16-Up that I just wanted to applaud these girls right there at the judges table. Finally, it was MY great honor and priviledge not just to judge, but to watch the pride, excitement and effort with which your daughters competed on Saturday and to say that I was personally very proud of them all. Thanks for your time.
