I personally do not have a problem with peer judging at the regional level. However, I do not like the way it has been done for the last 2 years. This is my fourth year animating, and I thought that the peer judging was nearly perfect the way it was done my first 2 years. You get a certain number of points for each criteria: Modeling, Technical Execution, Concept, etc. For example, my team won our second regional because, while the technical execution was about what you'd expect from a second year team, we had a great concept. And I'm not just saying thats the way to do it because we won with it, I think that's a legitimately fair way to do it.
On the other hand, nationals should be judged by professionals. That's an easy one for me
