Say your score sheet has 8 categories on it with a possible score of 1-10 in each one(ext, int, engine, bodywork, paint, I.C.E., cleanliness, display/presentation). There's still subjectivity invovled 'cause the judge has to decide the 1 thru 10 but at the end of the day, you'll hear less bitching from those that don't win 'cause when you hand them their scoresheet back they'll see that they took zeros or scored low in some categories and be able to tell exactly why they lost.

Case in point...............at the Dialdin show at the norfolk scope in May I took second in my class losing to a car that I (and everyone else) thought I absolutely shouldn't have lost to. I requested my score sheet, and sure enough I had out pointed him in every category except "display". He had an excellent display but I didn't have one at all. That was a full 15 points to his score.....I lost by 1 point and there was nothing I could say about it 'cause it was right there in black and white. I just think it covers your ass when you do points...
there will always be bitching about judging at car shows........but I remember people bitching about judging at your show last year....and think this would silence your critics.
