I have been informed that the new NDCA rule allowing amateur teachers to compete with their students in NDCA sanctioned competitions and championships was recinded at a meeting of the NDCA Board of Governors, and amateur teachers will no longer be permitted to enter students into NDCA pro-am events.
Thought to be a practical answer to a current situation when enacted in January of this year, the NDCA responded to the strong feeling of professional teachers againt this accommodation and the rule was dismantled at the Board’s meeting on January 9 2011.
What I do NOT have is the official text to be included in the rules, but I think this is good news to many. I agree with the change because it strengthens the clear delineation between teachers and students and amateurs.
