Subject: The power players don't really want the cheating to go away

Author: and parents are staying at known cheating schools

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:25:52 03/14/24 Thu In reply to: Doable 's message, "One solution would be videotaping local comps and having vids assessed by separate panels of judges. Outlying IP points (say, >=5 ranks away from the average placement across 10 judges for the same dancer) would result in probation of some kind. Thus could be applied at random to feis'/judge (like a tax audit)" on 17:55:18 03/13/24 Wed Ways to remedy this are vast and most of us could come up with ideas to make things more fair, BUT I believe the WILL to change is not there in competitive Irish dance for the majority of schools and parents. There are still honest schools and TCRGs (and ADCRGs) -thank goodness- but they don't have the majority hand in this and they won't be able to turn this behemoth of an organization around.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Lots from NE headed to Worlds this week

Author: and most from the schools we know are cheaters [ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 15:24:38 03/22/24 Fri some suspected going as well- but when you break down the volume of kids that qualified in the NE, most are from the known cheating schools. this week, most if not all are winging their way to Worlds. CLRG, with no teeth and no will is continuing their sanctioning of cheating that will inevitably continue at this "world class" event. such a shame. Going to Worlds really used to mean something, or so we thought at the time. sort of sad to have the blinkers off. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
