In reply to: 's message, "Let’s take a look at why cheating, at least at our Oireachtas, is statistically nearly impossible…" on 15:11:46 11/27/24 Wed

1) The judges are voted on by the region. The cheaters have already put multiple people in they know will help them.

2) they sent videos and pictures to the judges long before the event happens. The judges know exactly which dancers they need to select.

3) Yes, there is a chance they don't get people on the panel that they need, but that doesn't mean they don't try. Since people are trading places, not money, there is no reason why numbers are a problem. 12 might as well be 24.

4) It isn't an all or nothing. All you need is one or two judges to give a dancer a high score to bump them into recalling. Placing a dancer at first and possible competitor for top box will drop the competitor out of the running. Why the low score? They are a judge and decided that dancer just wasn't as good. It has been happening like that for decades and hasn't slowed anything down.

5) What strict rules? What are the consequences if they are caught? CLRG just proved they would roll over and look the other way if there is cheating, and most of the people enforcing the rules are the ones cheating.

6) I also don't think you understand how political Irish dance is. This goes into passing your exams. People make sure examiners pass and fail certain people. They pass people they think will play the game. And make sure the game players are selected as judges.



This has been going on forever. Until there are actually punishments for cheating all of what you listed is just security theater, designed to make dancers and parents who don't know what's going on feel like things are fair.

I mean, lets look at the fact that the judges now line up all the dancers to look at them and "make sure" they gave the correct score to correct dancers, instead of just making sure when they ring the bell to let them off stage...
