My POINT was has anyone else, not having entered a contest since 1990, entered a contest where there are NO 1st, 2nd or 3rd palce awards.....just a 'top three'.....maybe I was not clear.

- It seems winning medals for your builds are very important. *NM*

    - sounds like the Soccer Mom mentality , everyone's a winner no losers! I don't know if it matters that much to me, but it does sound kinda odd.
      - I had always built to compete in my previous life. It was a lot more realistic than having a bunch of people that know the builder voting for their friend. I have seen that happen many times...and the guy that built the best car didn't win anything. Even saw a slammer beat w *NM*
        
        beat world class builders..hmmm...shoulda heard those comments *NM*
- I don't think I have experienced that. I generally enter to support a club / event and don't really care about awards.
  - Exactly. *NM*
    - X2. *NM*
  - I was going to the Buckeye show in Ohio.....a much larger show. Decided to go more local to support a small club.....
    - I don't think you were complaining - you have a legitimate question. That's what the board is for. :-) *NM*
      - Thanks...I know I am not the best communicator at times.....
        
        I didn't see it as complaining either. *NM*
        
        Not complaining in my book. *NM*
        
        I for one found it to be interesting. I never heard of this before. *NM*
