I agree, especially when ADCRG knows Sat before which section they’re judging, let the texts begin, it’s so unfair. AIO last year favoured WA dancers also based on judging by a particular male judge from same State. (NT) -- DM, Sun, May 07 2023, 0:31:51"

Then surely rotating AD's is better, if you are going to get unfair judging from a particular AD, at least it's only for one round. (NT) -- -, Sun, May 07 2023, 8:41:17"

That one round in Perth put one dancer up from 8th to 4th in her set, one AD from the rotating panel gave her the 100 which was a joke ahead of at least 4 others who were very highly scored by the other two including the overseas AD who knows no one here 😡 (NT) -- Should only be O/S judges, Sun, May 07 2023, 9:24:31"
- This is why the high and low needs to be dropped, knocks out the favours. (NT) -- -, Sun, May 07 2023, 13:42:50"
- What age group did this happen in -- Curious, Tue, May 09 2023, 1:57:57"
- Judges have particular preferences and set dances can often bump dancers up or down. It really isn’t the big deal you make it out to be. (NT) -- -, Tue, May 09 2023, 7:29:23"
  - it was actually, as it was so blatant when the other two adjudicators had her way down (NT) -- definately favours done, Wed, May 10 2023, 18:02:26"
    - Do you understand what subjective means? Some judges favour timing and rhythm, others execution and carriage. (NT) -- -, Thu, May 11 2023, 7:46:18"
      - Not the above poster but there is subjective and then there is cheating. You notice it more at comps like Worlds that announce all scores, when all but one AD gives very high scores like high 80's to 90's and then one gives 28. That is not personal taste, that is deliberate tanking of a dancer, and vice versa all low scores and one 100 is a favour without doubt. (NT) -- No name, Thu, May 11 2023, 21:11:20"
        I agree -- DM, Fri, May 12 2023, 8:44:32"
        So sorry that this happened to your DD. This is why it should be mandatory to drop the high and low scores at majors. It won't stop the cheating, but in your case would have saved your DD's obviously deserved top 10 place. (NT) -- No name, Fri, May 12 2023, 21:29:07"
        I'm sorry you feel that the judging was unjust. Did you look at the variation in places that other dancers received? I looked over the results after the "outcry" last year, I saw some 100s that brought some kids up in places, but all the "lower" set scores were in line with the other judges marks, I didn't see any that would have tanked a dancer.

    - Who was it? -- Curious, Mon, Jul 03 2023, 3:28:03"
This can still result in several judges from same State judging a section over all 3 rounds. See inside -- DM, Mon, May 08 2023, 23:22:58"
