Tom, an update on how they did the scoring at the Great Lakes Regional Beard and Mustache Championships. In each category when you went onstage as a contestant they asked you to remain at the side of the stage afterwards. Then after the final contestant in the category they brought everyone back to stand as a group in front of the judges with your number visible so the judges could look everyone over and make their final determinations.

I like that method... I hope they'll adopt something similar at the Midwest Championships in the future. They really need to come up with a better tie breaker than Rock Paper Scissors!
