In about 1992 we set up a system whereby the judge's were elected nationally, much like the national judges, and then assigned regions to judge at the Board meeting at the National. The regional clubs and membership did not really like this system and the clubs wanted to be able to select their judges to go with the futurity judge. So probably around 97 or so the Board voted to let the regional clubs again submit the judges they wanted to the Board as they had previously. There may be a better system tho I don't know if one can ever please everybody. Tish ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
