I've never ever really figured out how EI is evaluated and judged. You often hear it is an RCA/CA runner up. I don't quite buy that. I'm a little lost on the EI.

Our experience has always been that there are two sets at the CA level.

I believe that also. The judges could really monitor the top six to 10 teams prior to the Championship and be able to resolve the issue fairly quickly onsite.

The one change I wish they would do is expand the Chairman's Essay size from 10,000 to 16,000 or even 20,000 characters. But that is a different topic.
