Unethical competitions

amy · 2012-05-28T12:56:49+00:00

People give blood, sweat and tears to submitting and competing. However, some of those competitions out there today, even the most popular, are run by unscrupulous organizations that show blatant favoritism and inconsistent applications of rules and regulations, creating an unfair and non-level competing playing field. Some issues are lack of transparency in submission criteria, accepting some submissions after the deadline has passed, a lack of transparency about how judging is scored, a lack of transparency on posted scores, and math errors in competitors scorecards. Do we continue to support those organizations? This is a conversation that needs to move from the shadows into public forums if we can hope to encourage change. Organizations need to be accountable for their actions to the members that they serve. I've started a conversation on Facebook here (add me as a friend if you haven't already): http://www.facebook.com/Aerialamyy/posts/218627184923619?ref=notif&notif_t=like ...but I think it's important to involve as many polers as possible in this discussion. What do you Svers think?
