  You're correct in your assumptions. Nothing to stop them and I sure it goes on. Just another reason I don't go out of my way to see one.

  I do amateur contests whenever I can (and I'm certainly no amateur) and often take 1st place. So, to answer your question ... Nothing can stop it. Muahahahahahaha *evilly rubs hands together*

  I was at “King of Diamonds” (KOD) last Saturday night.
  
  KOD is a very large and upscale black SC here in Miami – lots of rappers visit and perform there and also a lot of pro athletes visit.
  
  On weekends; KOD is more of an event or a party rather than a hardcore SC. One will see many women customers; often in large groups; visiting.
  
  It seems to be a KOD tradition of sorts for a female customer whose birthday it is to get called on stage; along with her female buddies; and they dance to the music while custies make it rain on them.
  
  The DJ will try to egg the girls in the birthday group (or the birthday girl) to take it off.
  
  Last Sat. night, a birthday girl and her female “entourage” got on stage. The DJ started egging the girls to take it off – two of them stripped down butt ass naked – no bottoms or anything (one of them was not even wearing any shoes). I thought it was fun and sexy as hell seeing what I presumed to be amateurs going buck wild. But it made me wonder if the girls in the birthday entourage that got butt naked were really part of the birthday entourage or if they may have been ringers?

  Amateur nights are contests where other club's dancers compete to win a prize offered up by the club holding the contest. For the one club I visit which has one, the only way to get hired on under normal circumstances is to participate in its amateur night, which occurs twice a month there. It's easier to have an amateur night than to have to have a formal audition for the large number of dancers who wish to work there. Of course, that doesn't stop there from being real amateurs in them.

  Amateur contests that I have seen weren't really contests. They were a way for seasoned strippers to see if they wanted to dance at the club that holds the contest. Usually the "contest" was just an audition for most of them. Every single contestant was already a stripper. Its a joke that everybody behind the scenes appears to be in on.

  Never went out of my way for amatuer night. Even if all that you guys said about it being a farce is a lie, why would I want to see girl give pathetic dances and turn me off. I'm there to see good provacotive dancers, or at the very least, someone that knows what their doing. Though even if "amatuers" did put on good shows, their just girls. Its just another day with different dancers. Nothing special

  I do enjoy seeing hot girls getting naked up on stage especially if I haven't seen them before. I don't care if they are a dancer from somewhere else. When Platinum plus had amateur night on Saturday night, I saw some real amateurs. I know one girl who won or was runner up who must have weighed more than me was an amateur. No way could I imagine her working as a dancer. I think many cheered for her because they thought it was funny that she could win. If a 200 pound plus girl could win, just about anyone could. I wonder if that's why they moved the contest away from the weekend. Too many non routine visitors. Probably not but I don't know.

  a lot of strippers/dancers end up dancing after amateur night. the win money & a job. I'm sure at a club like Lady Godivas in Greenville. They would win a box of condom's & trip to the local std clinic

  DandyDan and Sclvr said it best. Amateur nights:
  
  1. Give a club an opportunity to have different dancers appear for variety, rather than the club's own house dancers.
  
  2. Are one means of auditioning dancers.
  
  a.) They could be actual amateurs seeking employment as strippers.
  b.) They could be presently employed at other clubs. The club holding the contest won't care. They just want to get entrants for the contest.
  c.) Some clubs do require dancers to audition during the amateur contests. If a dancer comes into a club asking for a job, some club managers might ask her specifically to audition during the contest, even though the club will grant audtions at other time. That might be for strategic reasons.
  
  3. Can be fixed.

  One other thing, at the one club whose amateur contest I am familiar with, it doesn't matter whether you win a prize in their contest. You only have to be in it and they give you a token you have to use before the next contest in order to be a house dancer there.

  One club local to me advertises a monthly amateur contest. But there has to be at least 3 contestants, so it's very hit or (mostly) miss that it actually happens.
