I agree, theoretically every competition will have judges with fresh perspectives which should make the scoring more objective. 2 years ago, our season would have ended at the Area C competition since one judge placed us dead last. Fortunately the other 4 judges placed us first, and a 4th slot was added...they called it the "judges preference". Thier optimism paid off when the Bulldogs brought home the Silver medal in 05'.
With any luck we will have at least a repeat performance, if not better.........GOIN FOR THE GOLD !
