Do you have Pound Stirling 67.50?

Let me tell you why IDSF is such a pain when it comes to running an Intenational dancesport competition. They are worst than your nagging grandmother, they want a Chief Adjudicator, they want to have their qualified adjudicators, they want to ensure that the Dance floor is of the acceptable size and much much more. The biggest thorn IDSF have and it is poking the WDC backside are the adjudicators. To the IDSF people the core of any IDSF dancesport competition is a level playing field for the competitors and the spectators too. I am not saying that all IDSF adjudicators are angels. Recently in Italy an adjudicator was caught altering the score sheet. Such black sheeps exist in every organisation, in IDSF case such people are an embarrassment and this chap was kick out of IDSF. Such incidences are an exception rather than the norm. 
Let me tell you why IDSF cannot accept WDC adjudicators to judge in IDSF competitions.
Now at this juncture let me qualify myself by saying that there are some very qualified WDC adjudicators whose integrity and honesty cannot be challenged. However it is the manner of going about to be registered as a WDC adjudicator that is being put to disrepute and questioned.
Do you have the desire to be a WDC International adjudicator? Seriously all you need is Pound Sterling 67.50 (inclusive of VAT). Do you need any professional dance qualification at all? No! you do not need any qualifications of any sort at all, but you certainly need to have Pound Stirling 67.50 and payment can be by Pay Pal , Visa or Master Card. 
Rather than keep you in suspense can you please go to the WDC marketing arm web site the Ballroom Dancers' Federation International (BDFI) click members and go to WDC International adjudicators. Fill in your name and the next page will ask you for your payment details. 
Hey! I am not saying that this is wrong, there are suckers born every second in this world and this is a commercial organisation, like the BDC. Your name will be listed in the WDC list of International adjudicators, whether you will be call to adjudicate any competition, no one knows and no one cares and no one bothers.
In the event WDC and WDC Amateur League can accept such qualifications who are we to say no? After all Ballroom dancing is an art form to them, some even goes on to say that the artistic part is the heart and soul of Ballroom dancing. I am not going to argue with you if you take that stand. For all I care, you can even pull straws to determine who comes out 1st to the 6th position.
I deeply regret to inform all of you out there that IDSF does not have such instant mechanism to be accepted as an IDSF International Adjudicator. On the contrary if you have no recognised Professional Dance Qualifications by IDSF, do not even try to apply unless you are a glutton for punishment.
Some even has suggested that the lack of respect and the belligerent attitude of IDSF is the cause of this war between IDSF and WDC. 
Belligerent to insist on qualified judges, yes, but really if WDC International Adjudicators can buy their way in, why should IDSF even want to talk about respect or have anything to do with WDC? Is respect really an issue here?
