course sat 28th of june

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.
