It is easier for boys to qualify, definitely. That is a function of the relative numbers of boys and girls in the sport and doesn't have anything to do with "fairness" of the qualifying formula. What would be unfair, in my opinion, would be rigging the rules in order to reduce the number of boys going to major competitions. That makes no sense on any conceivable level for the ID powers-that-be, which is why the few discontented message board posters can complain till they turn blue but remain irrelevant. The rule change they seek will never happen. -- Real Men Irish Dance
