[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 1804354, member: 542392"] Yeah... I hear you on the WI ones - that's why we just gave up and do get togethers during the summer months. As for the rest... Well... We've watched a judge get hauled off by the police - for skimming the entry fee, owners at Innovative caught them. Had judges show up late, to almost every show. Dirty trophies. Not deliving 3x plaques several months after promising. Late starts because of unprepared judges, late endings because of the same - and a lot of downtime in the midst because of it. I blame Randall from USACi for almost all of it, he promised the shops in this region a regular, dependable judge and show - and never delivered - year after year. This would be the norm: Stay up until about 2am prepping car for show. Sleep until 6am, get up and leave by 7-8 based on where I had to drive. Drive 2-3 hours one way to show, show up "on time" and wait for 2-3 hours for the show to even get started. Get judged, and wait until 2-3 hours past what should have been the end of the show to get trophies/points. Honestly, I got fed up with paying $35~45 per event to show up on time, sit around for hours waiting for the show to start, and sit around for hours waiting for it to end. I'm already out entry fee, plus food for the day, plus gas in the firechicken - it all adds up pretty fast - the least we should get is a smoothly run show. About the last show I can recall that was run fairly well was one of the last that was USACi sanctioned in this region - was at the Best Buy in Baxter, MN - and I didn't enter it, only attended. You won't find an IASCA show anywhere near here - last one I ever recall attending was 1998. [/QUOTE]
