It's a little more work for the WFA winners to read through those each week, but reduces the load during week 7. It would allow for a little more recognition without dramatically increasing the judging load.
Call it a DWFFA and it seems like a good plan to me, perhaps have the districts do this first pass judging and the WFA do the upper level judging?
