[Killietalk] Oops!

["Curtis Smith" <cskillies at hotmail_com>]

I guess I showed my ignorance in my first message.   Since then several 
freinds have e-mailed me off site and explained the Bilbrough award and the 
changes made to it.    Before and during the convention I heard or read many 
complaints that we need more entries at the convention.   To me, that means 
getting those who have never showed to enter.   I don't believe that a 
system counting only winners can accomplished that.   It only makes sense 
that vetern showpersons have a much better chance of winning than a 
newcomer, though a newbie may get lucky once.   A system counting total 
entries would do more to spawn friendly competition between clubs and within 
clubs in my opinion.   The question is, do you want more entries?   Or do 
you want better fish?  I would think that more entries would eventually lead 
to better fish as we beginners in showing learn what is expected.   Friendly 
banter and challenges on killietalk before the convention could become 
commonplace.
