i've just properly compaired my score sheets from london & vegas.
i only scored 4 points more in the london sculpt catagory than in vegas, but i was placed 14 places higher!
like i said earlier, i lost most of my points due to scazing her skin & knocking a nail clean off, & i scored a lot higher on my "c" curve & lower/upper arches.
my scores & placings show that the standard of most of div 3, excluding the top 3-4 regular winners, is very equal.
it was announced in vegas that next yr, there will b a new "masters" catagory in the nailympics. this will b compulsory for the previous winners of the div 3 trophys.
this is great news for people like me, because it means most of the people in div 3 will b fighting a level fight.
it has been said before that people like tom holcome should retire as they keep winning everything. i personally think that you're not the best in the world untill u beat the best in the world.
however, this new catagory means that the level of skill & experience in div 3 will b more equal, allowing more people to come up through the ranks. then move on to the "masters" level to compete with the big boys!
i don't know whether this new catagory will apply to london, mayb alex can answer that one.
