WDC Amateur League OPEN World Amateur Championships

giovedì 24 aprile 2008 12.47

Interesting that at the IDSF web site one can read threats about this event.

 

"IDSF athlets"may not particpate.  Excuse me!!  IDSF has NO athletes.

All dancers belong to associations in their own country and not IDSF

 

"IDSF Adjudicators" may not participate.  I was not aware IDSF had trained Adjudicators.  I thought they simply licensed those who spent a few hours at one of their "sessions".

Now how many Professionals who have respect for themselves and their profession are going to accept this restriction in their right to trade ?  Doubly important this is an Amateur organisation taking a dictatorial stand against Professionals.

 

Will be very interesting to see how the likes of Mr. Armstrong the President of the British Dance Council the World Dance Council member for the U.K. respond.    Will hypocrisy win over integrigty?

I don't hold out too much hope for integrity these days.   If there was any the Dutch Open would not have been threatened.  The British Majors would have been treated the same way. Obviously the IDSF feel they have the power in some areas but are afraid to test the waters in others as they surely know that one failure destroys their sandcastle.

I hope this advance warning of possible action against licensed adjudicators and competitors brings the world to its senses. If the WDC Amateur League World Championship is a good event with great conditions and Adjudicators then it should be supported. If it is a poor event with substandard Adjudicators that the majority have never heard of then it deserves like all poor events to fail. Any Organisation that threatens its competitors or Officials for participating deserves to fail also.
