Subject: It occurred to me that one reason MidAm may be delaying the release of O results is that there are some serious changes coming in at least some of the competitions.

The December 17 statement was oddly and carefully worded. They explained the new WQs and said no one lost his or her WQ or NAIDC qualification, but they didn’t say that there were no new NAIDC qualifiers and they didn’t say that there were dancers awarded WQ and NAIDC-Q who shouldn’t have been but those qualifications will stand (which is the past practice when mistakes have happened). It seems easier to say “no other changes in qualifications” if that is the case.

They were completely silent on other changes in placements other than stating they have “begun to notify” teachers of changes. If there were only a few minor changes, seems like the committee would have said that. If there were only a few dancers who should’ve recalled but didn’t or should have NAIDC-Q but didn’t, they could’ve handled it the same way they did WQs.

All this makes me suspect that, at least in some comps, there are going to be some serious adjustments and the committee thought it better to let everyone enjoy Christmas before dropping the results. The committee may have put out the good news that doesn’t hurt anyone’s placement before Christmas and is holding the bad stuff for later.

Any other theories less cynical than this would that would make the committee’s delay seem reasonable?

Interesting post. Is it me or are all the O discussions about the wait deleted from the Mid America Voy? Talked about the 2 qualifiers. (NT) -- ?, 20:45:56 12/21/25 Sun
- Wow! You are correct. It was there yesterday morning and now it is gone. Doesn’t make sense. The thread wasn’t that bad. Who moderates that board? (NT) -- Crazy, 05:33:50 12/22/25 Mon
I noticed that they worded it carefully myself. (Almost too careful) I believe more dancers are impacted than we think... Just to think some should have recalled and never got to dance their set breaks my heart and the Committee's "lack of" transparency or communication makes me angry and sad at the same time. -- MidAmerica mom, 05:25:37 12/22/25 Mon
- Agree. And they were doing so well. If they had just published the audit last week when it was done, we all could’ve rolled with multiple and huge errors. Now, we are all just going to be mad they sat on it for a week and a half. (NT) -- Dm, 05:38:56 12/22/25 Mon
- We received a call from our TC saying that our dancer, who danced on Friday, should have recalled and didn't. They weren't sure what was coming next, but that IDTAMA expresses their sympathy and will send a placement award. This would have been her first time recalling and set is her always her highest scoring round. (NT) -- Beyod Frustrated., 08:08:52 12/22/25 Mon
  - What age group? (NT) -- If you want to share, 08:29:01 12/22/25 Mon
  - That is truly heartbreaking, congratulations and condolences to your dancer (NT) -- DM, 13:38:23 12/22/25 Mon
Whoever is in charge of leadership within the IDTAMA should be embarrassed by the lack of transparency and the total disrespect of the parents who sponsor these dancers in costumes, private lessons, etc. Since no teacher is speaking out supporting parents/dancers - that must mean they support the way it was handled. -- Terrible, 10:19:36 12/27/25 Sat
