RE: suggestions for adjudication?

At the Pleasanton Games there are three classes for the adjudication:
	Dem Team
	Social Class
	Youth Class
The adjudicator should be aware of the status of each team and adjust their
comments accordingly. Having been a dancer at several adjudications and
remembering that the purpose of the adjudication is to have an enjoyable
time and improve the level of dancing and teamwork - I would hope that your
teacher starts and ends each evaluation with positive comments and does not
over dwell on problems or negatives.

If you have a youth class in your area I would strongly encourage them to
participate - it is fun and most audiences appreciate their effort.
