This is a VERY INTERESTING comment you made. It seems it's also important to the judges what they see in your team at the moment right there at the event is maybe more so important than what you did the whole year or past ten. I think it might be a gauge of success that it should be percolating all throughout your team. And if it's not 100% a shining example at the event, then they must assume all your documentation is null and voided.

What's interesting is to have a lower score in Gracious Professionalism than all the other marks on the chairman's feedback form, yet you WIN the Gracious Professionalism Award at the regional...at least that is what happened last year. So just trying to make heads or tails of judge logic and what it is exactly we aren't communicating to them.
