Interesting Lee...this is the 1st I've heard of it but at the 6 shows last week in Idaho I thought it was odd that only 1 of the 6 days did any of the Judges use a cut. The others went 1, 2, 3, 4 like you describe. ************************************************* Happy to hear others are doing the same, charging for making the cut is going a bit to far in my book.
