Technical improvements during the dance competition

Σάββατο, 24 Οκτωβρίου 2009 4:57 μμ

For many years we (I mean Dancesportinfo team) are thinking how modern technology could improve dance events.

I am inviting all of you to suggest possible (and impossible!) improvements.

Please do not treat it too seriously, just write your ideas. Does not matter if they are crazy. 20 years ago an idea of Internet looked crazy [:)]

Here is a start:

1/ magnetic cards for all competitors to uniquely identify who they are, hence avoiding situations when wrong couple is entered

2/ electronic devices for judges to mark couples, maybe with a live video feed, so judge can "click" on the couple image, hence avoiding non marking couple whos choreography does not allow the judge to read a couple number

3/ RFIDs attached to the couple, so there is an automatic check if couples on the floor are entitled to be there

4/ Seeding every round by couples quality (by Dancesportinfo rating for example) to avoid "strong" and "weak" hits

5/ Recording every heat and allow judges to look quickly at previous heat, to find more couples to be marked

Any other "crazy" ideas?
