[Tango-L] Metro competition

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Deby talked about contestants being a legal resident of BsAs, not necessarily a citizen.

As Michael pointed out, the rules of the US competition checks on legal status (i.e, no illegal immigrants allowed) but one doesn't haven to be a resident of the US.

If all of the competitions had similar rules as the US, then theoretically, one couple could win the U.S championship and the French championship and the Spanish championship, etc in the same year if these events are held at different times.  If only the national champion competes in the World Championship, then theoretically, the World Tango Championship could potentially only have 1 couple competing! 

Personally, I agree with the BsAs organizers that competitors be legal residents of BsAs.

Deby says: "These people complaining are not legal residents. Yet they feel they 
deserve the right to compete when the rules plainly stated you must 
either be born an Argentine or hold legal residency. Just like the 
rules in the USA."

 Michael I think that Deby and you are saying the same thing. 

 

I fail to see where anybody talked about being a citizen.
