What is going on? Friday afternoon you are told we do not need you to judge! We signed up a few hours after signup opened. I checked and it was still open 2 WEEKS later. Now you tell judges that signed up on the first day that they are not needed. We had declined two other functions because we had said we signed up to judge. What would have happened if I had booked a motel room? Late Friday afternoon I would have had to pay for that room. This SHOULD have been known several weeks ago! Someone dropped a big ball!!! What good is it to sign up or obligate yourself if the powers decide you are not needed. There were only around 20 listed to judge when we signed up. Are they judging the contest with 20 or 25 judges? Who decided what judges were not needed and how did they make that decision?
