Many new faces at the AMA  Nationals & open Sunday 22/6/08.

 Some complaints from Genuine coaches and many from 
pretend coaches.

It really does make a long Day even longer When a fuss 
is unjustly made by pretend coaches.


Even if protocol is followed and Official's don't 
explain themselves to coaches (parents), This still 
adds time to a long Day and a tired official is like a 
tired competitor, not as sharp as one would like.


It was a p[leasure to see a coach deal with an unruly
student who had already disgraced himself by being 
given Shikkaku.
This was a pleasant surprise and the coach deserves 
applause,

It is not saying the Student was right in any way,
but it shows the Coach Does not condone that type 
of behavior and will not stand for it.

A point for one Disgruntled old timer from Middlesbrough
who shall remain nameless, 

Before you criticize official's and berate them for 
supposedly being biased towards a student from their
own group remember this.


Due to the competition being an Association National 
Event, it is impossible for officials to stand down when 
a student from their group gets up to compete.

Bearing this in mind it was YOUR CLUB JUDGE THAT VOTED 
FOR THE POINT AGAINST YOU.

All said and done.

 Have a great time in sweden and good luck to 
all AMA COMPETITORS.
