Anyone else concerned about the NDCA power grab requiring all amateur dancers to register and pay annual dues to compete in any NDCA comps?

My immediate reaction was of concern. But then I asked my instructor. He pointed out that only couples competing as amateurs have to register. Pro-Am couples are covered by the pro's registration. (Assuming he has one.) Of course, this doesn't help you if you're an amateur couple! Good luck.
[Turns out, the comp I was interested in--Empire State Dancesport--is running my events on Thursday and Friday, so I won't be able to compete. Sometimes it's easier to stick to one day comps! Hope to attend Saturday nite as a spectator though!] 1a2

Lets hear more coments on this one. And let us not forget that these people making the rules do come up for election.
