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. -- Australian Irish Dance Message Board

- 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.
