Walking off stage during NA conparisons and placing??

saint · Sep 12, 2005

I am a little curious how Peter P got to walk off stage during comparisons and drink water and not get compared to other top competitors and still placed 5th???? I've never seen anyone walk off and still place? I am curious since this is a political sport if he rec. a gift. I have congradulated him for his placing but now I find out he walked off? I am a little confused Help me to Understand.

So Even If he was compared to the guys in the last callout it seems pretty hard to compare the top 10 guys and then put him in the top 5. I think there was about 15 people in the class or more. That means the top 10 guys were already threw and the last few guys were left. At this level of a show seems strange.

come on guys, this poor guy is taking a beating over his show. Let's cut him some slack.

if its for a medical thing, does it still hurt your score? maybe that's it??

i dont have first clue about how scoring works so i'm just taking stabs in the dark

HONESTLY

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. WE CAN WALK OFF STAGE, IT DOESNT HURT OUR PLACING. NOW, YOU CANT WALK OFF DURING A COMPARISON, BUT WHILE IN THE BACKGROUND, IT IS OK.

They called out the top five and compaired them, but as soon as the head judge started rearranging them Peter cramped up (along with another competitor in the top five). They both walked off, but Peter returned to stand on the side of the stage right before the class walked off. I spoke to a few judges and they said that doing so wouldn't take someone out of the top five, but one judge did say it might hurt the placing. I guess it just depends on the situation. -Jess

No big deal in my opinion. My last show one guy was cramping bad and they came out and gave us ALL water right then and there, lol. Keeping the atheletes in tact is what its all about.
