Author: Worlds should be max 5 days.
Subject: This has to be the years that the number of qualifiers are reduced and the heats are eliminated.

1) Limit number of world qualifiers to top 5 + 5% of total competitors (rounded down) with NO additional spots for WMH:

Up to 20 dancers: 5 qualifiers
21-39 dancers: 6 qualifiers
40-59 dancers: 7 qualifiers etc.

2) No secondary or tertiary qualifying opportunities. Your regional Oireachtas is the ONLY qualifying opportunity and no injury/illness/other petitions are accepted. Therefore, All-Irelands, NAIDC, and any other national Oireachtas are not treated as world qualifying events.

3) No automatic qualifications to worlds. EVERYONE has to qualify at their regional Oireachtas regardless of national placement or WMH status.

4) Only 3 rounds at worlds with recall set at 50% up to max of 50.

5) Teams, choreography, and dance dramas need to place in top 50% at regional Oireachtas to be eligible to enter worlds.

6) Elimination of any special competitions, opening/closing ceremonies, balls, special memorials or presentations etc. Pageantry and opulence is a bad look for CLRG at this point. This should be a barebones, humble, and very muted worlds where the dancing and dancers are the only aspects highlighted.

But they rely on the entry fee monies and the cash spent by family attending and spending at venue, hotels etc. I think they could go other way and let everyone qualify to ramp up the entry fees But you must dance at qualifying so more money going to CLRG from that (NT) -- More money, 10:39:28 05/26/24 Sun
Contract already signed with venue. Reduce numbers = shorter comp duration = expensive halls sitting empty. If CLRG survives change it for subsequent yrs but too late to change for Dublin. People already qualified. Can’t strip it from them. (NT) -- Sj, 03:42:57 05/27/24 Mon
- In future it should go regionals > nationals (closed) > worlds. One national champ each for Ireland, GB, USA, Can. Then one for Europe, one for Africa & MidEast, one for Asia Aus & NZ, one for Mexico Centrl America & South America. Don’t need other majors. This isn’t elite tennis/golf with huge prize money.

These are not the changes the CLRG need to focus on moving forward. They need to ensure fair events for everyone… -- ., 05:42:59 05/27/24 Mon
- No it’s the wasteful spending! -- Cut cost, cut overhead!, 06:34:25 05/27/24 Mon
These suggestions are a little short sighted (NT) -- …, 06:28:17 05/27/24 Mon
- What is short sighted is throwing money to a group of people who will not -- look @ their wasteful spending, 10:09:15 05/27/24 Mon
I think (2) only works if you also get rid of the ban for closing schools, transfers, etc (NT) -- Otherwise punishes dancers, 09:26:32 05/27/24 Mon
- Ban should absolutely be rescinded. Can’t compete if old teacher judging for two years, otherwise no restriction. (NT) -- Ornr, 11:12:38 05/27/24 Mon
