Re: Competition Professionalism

Well, Henry, that brings up a few things (not the recent post, the one above Laaba's):

1) Either you asked these students/kids what their team position is, or you spent way too much time following them around.

2) Define "falling through the cracks". For the lack of memory and "googling" skills I'll just lightly remind you of Bill Gates. There are many, many others.

3) I understand now where the dancing part comes in, thanks for clarifying it. I do understand that sometimes the dancing may carry on a few minutes more than expected. But if you're a volunteer, that is almost implied, and you really don't have to be here. Cruel, but true. If you're a team member/mentor who does not want to dance, fine. That's your choice. But this is somewhat a celebration, so they're just having fun. Besides, what's the rush? Yes, there is a schedule, and for the most part it is followed pretty strictly by the officials and teams. But even if you're running late, there must be some time to dance, dance, dance.
