I believe that all the participants want is consistency in the way they are judged, same as in any sport.
As loopy says, judging whether someone is having a samba is very subjective. Of course this can lead to controversial, erratic or incorrect decisions.
Is it really as subjective as the judge just going by his own experience and his opinion on the day?
Surely there is a list of actual criteria that AIDA judges use to make their decisions? If so, does anyone have access to this list who wouldn't mind posting it here?
Thanks
Ash
