They hire contestants moms or other family as judges,coaches kids win because she knows they will keep coming back and bringing students, you win once, she then of course keeps you coming back for more but in the end your left with disappointment,they have a "deadline" and supposedly do no accept entries after that deadline but yet you find out shes begging people to enter saying there is no one in that division and you get there and theres 9 people in your division, score sheets are mailed to you for a fee of $5 and you get them and they are hand written all in the same handwriting (i wonder why) its not the original score sheets. Not a fair system at all!Dont waste your time or money!
