We’ve already discussed everyone’s favorite and least favorite things about car shows in 2010, but I was thinking about one of topics that comes up through out the season again and again and thought we should focus on it: Judging. From all the shows you went to this season, what is one thing you would like to see changed for 2011 in regards to judging? Maybe there’s something a particular show does that you would like to see other shows adopt? What do you think can make judging even better in 2011?

If participant judged shows went the way of Jesus Built My Hot Rod, that style of judging would be perfectly fine. You only vote in certain classes, and you don’t vote in your own.
Having judges that are points judging and know what they are doing is also a plus. Some judges have no clue about the automobile in general.
It doesn’t matter to me, I’m thinking of attending non-judged shows next year and/or shows that benefit charities or organizations that contribute back to the community or a certain group like MDA.
Zac makes a good point regarding the “points” style judged shows. There will always be that human, subjective element involved with this type of show.
The best one could hope at a “points” judged show would be that there is a team of at least two judges looking at each car, and that the entire class is judged by the same team, and that the standards the team chooses to use is applied consistently to each vehicle. On the flipside of this coin, it is difficult, sometimes impossible, to put together enough judges to team judge, even at the larger shows.
