Don't forget that a section with 200 dancers has many more qualifiers than a section with 15 dancers. North American regions need to be smaller. Our region in Australia has very few dancers, most girls sections under 10 dancers and all boys sections only 1 or 2 dancers. -- Main Irish Dance Message Board!

True but it is also a much smaller percentage of the competition that qualifies. -- Not apples to oranges., 13:45:37 12/03/24 Tue
- Exactly this. Dancers in regions with smaller populations have a better chance of WQ. (NT) -- Not exactly fair, 18:25:56 12/03/24 Tue
  - So is mid America the hardest? (NT) -- MA, 18:55:47 12/03/24 Tue
    - Most say yes, tons of OC dancers don’t even recall due to high numbers. (NT) -- PW and PC - no chance, 16:10:40 12/04/24 Wed
      - Can you go as prizewinner? (NT) -- ?, 17:59:28 12/04/24 Wed
        PW can go with teachers approval in most US regions. Midamerica has to meet guidelines. They don’t even recall at PW or OC unless they are the very young ages -- Over 11-12 not in OC no chance, 04:24:20 12/05/24 Thu
        Sorry, meant they don’t recall in PW and PC (NT) -- Unless young, 04:26:43 12/05/24 Thu
        Qualifying as a PW only goes up to U13 -- qualification rules inside, 08:35:13 12/05/24 Thu
        In Mid-America PW U13 and younger can qualify by achieving a feis finish of 3rd or higher in each of the 4 core dances. (NT) -- ., 12:53:43 12/11/24 Wed
