Every single Show Ready person I have met is a wonderful individual and great supporter of the program. They clearly love their jobs and the opportunity they have. I greatly enjoy talking to them, and even hanging out with them post-event.
None of that means that the end result, especially at the World Championship, is exempt from scrutiny.
As I said before: why is it that many events can be managed without Show Ready and have a better production overall? What are they doing to have success?
This thread is about lessons learned from the negative side. I do not believe the Show Ready experience at Champs was as great as it should have been this year. I believe something needs to be adapted in order to improve the current system that they use. I offered a possible solution.
