Subject: My post was asking for thoughts on the idea of having more World Qualifiers at O's.
In reply to: check CLRG rules 's message, "Unless rules changed, the only spots skipped would be medal placement at Worlds. Dancer would be double qualified, not skipped at own region, which is the main qualifier." on 09:53:17 12/10/25 Wed

Scenario: You qualified for Worlds at both Nationals and Oireachtas. Because you already qualified at Nationals, your qualification opens up an additional qualifying spot at Oireachtas for the next dancer. Much like it does if you're a WMH. So if your competition at O's is 80 kids, 11 kids would World Qualify (if my math is correct). If 5 of those 11 kids also WQ'd at Nationals, the next 5 highest placed dancers would then qualify for Worlds.

I think there are already too many WQ. (NT) -- Dm, 10:35:39 12/10/25 Wed
- Agreed. Worlds is out of control. In no other sport are people in 7th place in a sub-region of a country (let alone continent) dancing at the Worlds. (NT) -- reduce qualifiers, 22:36:17 12/10/25 Wed
  - Disagree. This is not an elite sport, rather an extracurricular activity. -- ., 01:58:08 12/11/25 Thu
    - It’s a cultural art form that used to be filled with Irish and those with Irish descent. (NT) -- Now it’s not! Sad, 05:22:51 12/11/25 Thu
      - Why is diversity 'sad'? Does it not give you pride that people from all backgrounds are passionate about Irish dancing? (NT) -- ., 07:47:52 12/11/25 Thu
        No it does not! (NT) -- My opinion, 05:02:12 12/12/25 Fri
        Holy Cow. That is the most ridiculous comment I've ever seen on here... and that is sayin' something. -- x, 15:24:06 12/16/25 Tue
      - This is the single stupidest post I have ever seen. It’s thanks to the NON-Irish population that Irish dance is even a thing now. Irish dance is DEAD in Ireland. Just look at the abysmal numbers at Irish qualifiers. Thank goodness for the rest of the world keep Irish dance afloat. (NT) -- Shocking post, 08:41:40 12/11/25 Thu
    - That's how all sports work, though. And understand your point about cost vs registrations, but the whole event needs to shink. -- More inside, 01:09:06 12/14/25 Sun
The problem is the girls’ competitions are already too big to expect a human to be able to sort and rank. -- More inside, 05:08:48 12/11/25 Thu
- I remember there being 150 in my daughter’s competitions, unless you were on the box -- Dm, 10:18:05 12/11/25 Thu
