I think it would be a very good idea to introduce some very definite guidelines for judges to follow. At present it is all very subjective with the allowance for personal taste/perfrence towards eg a particular style of dance etc.
Whatever is done, it should be for Irish Dance worldwide, not just altered in one country and not in others.

Not only do we need standards and guidelines for the ADCRG's to follow, we need an outside independent tabulator also. I know of a Mid-West TCRG., who always has the results before anyone else, even before the third round is danced. At the major competitions like the Oireachtas, Nationals and World's we have teachers collecting results and transferring them to the tabulations room. Are any changes being made? Who is entering? Without anyone to oversee this process, it leaves a huge avenue for the less than honest to operate.

Geez, I never thought of that but you are right on. I have seen this at my own Oireachtas. How is this paragon from the Mid-West able to get the results? Aren't there other TCRG's there that would like to know also? I always assumed that someone was making sure everything was on the up and up. They certainly make it easy for the cheaters, don't they. You know though after having read alot of the message boards lately, it seems that some believe the rules are meant for others and not themselves. What good are the rules if no one is making sure they are followed?

Knowing results doesnt change results. Your statement about knowing befor the competition is finished is an outright lie. You are not the type of person Irish Dance needs.

The cheaters in I.D. have their work done befor they ever get to the feis. But they're slowly being weeded out.
