Exactly, cheating AD's don't need names, they just learn what costume to give the points to. Ridiculous that CLRG went back to allowing names on dresses and now we see solo dresses with school name on too, in addition to dancer name and school identifiers, such as belts, flames, same headpiece/cape and school initials. If CLRG want parents to trust them that things are being done, this needs to be stopped. -- Australian Irish Dance Message Board

In reply to: Changeitnow 's message, "All identifiers must be removed from costumes, including names, headpieces, beauty marks, school names , world medals and globes! It is enabling the cheating as well, they are getting rid of programs with numbers before the comps and this must go as well" on Sat, Feb 04 2023, 7:42:36"

Saw the name Mia on a dress for sale recently (NT) -- What a joke, Mon, Feb 06 2023, 22:29:34"
- I think it's (only just) ok to have dancer's first name on a dress, although I don't know why you would, as it gives the impression of cheating so why would you want that? But teamed with school identifiers like patches with school initials or a specific design area on a dress, cape or headpiece, it is there for a reason and that reason is cheating and those that do it need to be called out and stopped.

  - identifiers on costumes -- idmum, Wed, Feb 22 2023, 17:11:59"
    - Yes, the thing is that it is that at the moment, clrg wants it to all appear anonymous, supposedly no-one knows who anyone is. AD's are not supposed to -- -, Wed, Feb 22 2023, 22:43:47"
- A new dress being shown off made by an overseas dressmaker. i thought that was against the rules with the name "scarlet emblazoned across the Kite (NT) -- Blatant cheating,, Wed, Feb 22 2023, 21:31:00"
  - how does the name of the dancer on her costume equate to cheating? No different to having a solo costume of a specific colour! A judge does not look for Scarlotte anymore than they would look for the red Conor dress of dancer in the blonde wig! Get a grip! (NT) -- IDMum, Thu, Feb 23 2023, 7:52:16"
    - Yes, keep telling yourself that. The best way to not be accused of cheating, is to not appear to be cheating. Dancers name is not needed on the dress for any other reason than to identify the dancer. In a sea of red Conor dresses, which do you think stands out more? (NT) -- -, Sun, Feb 26 2023, 7:01:32"
