In 2007 I chaired the SW futurity. I picked 5 breeder judges and sent them out to the clubs in the region to put them in the order that they preferred.....and that is how the judge got picked. Would something like this work to satisfy input from most? We did have a very large futurity that year well attended by a lot of people from our own region...so I think it works.

If you want my money, I want to have a voice. I think this would go a long way toward improving entries. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
