This would be hard to execute but what if there was a ringside judging competition on championship drives. Thinking something like how the Hog College is judged. At one or two shows a year, you sign up to be a ringside judge and are handed a ballot to line them up independent of the ring judge and somewhat in secret (there would be a record of who participated but not marked ballots). The participants turn in ballots before judge announces and there is a ‘ring judge’ champion and a ‘people’s champion’. Everyone gets to be a judge ringside anyways so might be an interesting way to gauge the room. And might keep people engaged for all of the breed shows if you made a scoring system and kept a cumulative tally (maybe a free litter recording or something to the winner).
