Subject: Scores—

NAIDC—scoring was all over the place. Not sure how to interpret—nothing nefarious—just curious…seems as if some standards should be put into place as to style, technical execution, difficulty, etc…just some thoughts.. Please don’t hate on this comment—just an observation from the weeks worth of scores with a lot of inconsistencies.

Absolutely agree (NT) -- Looks like more cheating, 20:44:22 07/04/24 Thu
- When I watch a full competition, I put a star by the dancers I think might make top 10. I usually end up with 15-25 dancers. That's why marks look like they're "all over the place". There might be a standout dancer or 3, but generally, -- insde, 02:18:06 07/05/24 Fri
  - You nailed it! NAIDC covers 7 regions. Mid America typically splits, so you could have as many as 40 podium placers at NAIDC. They can’t all be top 10. (NT) -- Perspective needed, 07:13:31 07/05/24 Fri
    - Not to mention any overseas dancers, who are generally top dancers in their regions. (NT) -- I wouldn't want to judge it!, 12:39:54 07/05/24 Fri
I’m looking at placement from different judges— -- Widespread scores, 03:31:15 07/05/24 Fri
- Was that in the same round? (NT) -- c, 06:48:34 07/05/24 Fri
  - Yes—round 1 (NT) -- U13, 07:55:26 07/05/24 Fri
    - Look at a bunch of ages - it happened everywhere. Some champs had consistent scores - but after 1st it was a mess (NT) -- dm, 11:44:26 07/05/24 Fri
- Three possible explanations for the gap in scores -- See inside, 07:25:07 07/05/24 Fri
  - Yes! Coming from a former competitive gymnast 100% agree to all of the above!! (NT) -- Good take on it!!, 07:58:13 07/05/24 Fri
Another explanation -- Seen it several times, 11:14:50 07/05/24 Fri
- Agreed. When dancer has 4 scores in the top 10 and 1 score in the bottom 10, there really is a problem. And it happens too much to put it down to false starts or something other judges "missed." (NT) -- Dm, 12:00:28 07/05/24 Fri
No standardized scoring. Stop trying to turn Irish dancing into figure (NT) -- Skating or gymnastics., 08:19:59 07/07/24 Sun
