Since when do they place 9 in a group of 15 dancers with no ties? They did not do this for any other group on day one. What’s the reasoning? Is it a coincidence of that the 9th place finisher is a Gray dancer? The registration numbers are already low, and this does not make anyone want to register for more feis.

[> Subject: Flabbergasted by one more child getting a trophy? Really? This has been common practice in my 20+ years in Irish dance. How is it suddenly taking you by surprise? And why do you begrudge a child a 9th place trophy? Obviously everyone who can do basic math knows 9th place is not in the top 50%. It's not hurting anyone.

Author: feisorg [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:18:04 10/15/24 Tue It is true that they ask, but there are feis with organizers that will not give an extra trophy in a comp just because it is their dancer. Some have integrity!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
