Subject: Pageants that pro-rate vs pageants that don't

Here are the nationals we have attended that gave their money. I would suggest these to anyone NATIONALS

Hearts and Crowns
TDS
Enchanting Stars
AUE
Glamour Girls
Gingerbread
Stage Beauties
DDA
AAB
LMAB

STATE PAGEANTS
Cover Miss

I think if a pageant gives what they say they should be supported. The ones that don't shouldn't.

Here are the ones that didn't give their money that we attended:
Priceless Moments
Magical Dreams (Director Sharon Barth)
Beautiful Faces
Butterfly Kisses
America's Glamour Girls
All American Guys & Dolls (Director Carol Dosey)
All American Miss (will never attend again) had 75 contestants and sill didn't award full money
Glitz N Glamour

Celebrity Girls gave their money this year, but pro-rates last year.

What about Total Miss and Christmas in July?

UMMI pro-rated this year. With nearly 100 contestants. (NT) -- No name, 14:42:32 10/06/05 Thu
- she DID pay money. PER THE PAPERWORK YOU SIGNED, she reserves the right to split the money, which she did. You signed and agreed to the paperwork. At least she split it! Some directors promise $5,000 and give $200. (NT) -- No name, 08:50:20 10/08/05 Sat
- She had plenty of contestants to pay her money! Do the math. She will regret it next summer. I have two daughters and we will never go back. (NT) -- No name, 08:51:27 10/08/05 Sat
  - sounds like you just want to bash. She's been around 20 yrs, and people have copied UMMI for ages. Email her like an adult if you have a problem. people love her system and WILL be back. by the way, i DID do the math, and I also know what she paid for the ballrooms and the 90+ crowns she gave, as well as all the awesome prizes that all the kids, including yours got. she had the right to split the money, again, its in the contract/paperwork that you agreed to. It's not like she isn't going to pay (NT) -- No name, 08:54:14 10/08/05 Sat
Time to judge the pageants! -- Click in for MO, 16:30:10 10/06/05 Thu
- You are right NES is a 10+ they are amazing (NT) -- No name, 09:49:24 10/09/05 Sun
  - I am so glad to see people say NES is 10+ as we are going for the first time this year. Everyone we have spoke to loved the pageant!! (NT) -- No name, 14:52:59 10/09/05 Sun
    - You are going to LOVE NES it has to be one of the best pageants, they are fair and give out grat prizes (NT) -- No name, 04:37:10 10/10/05 Mon
- I am confused you say split the money, WE SEE pro-rate. Understandable a director for UMMI would defend the system (NT) -- No name, 09:04:48 10/10/05 Mon
Did director's ever consider that if they didn't put pro-rate language in their rules, that they might draw more contestants? I think most moms are hesitant to enter their dd's in the pageant if there is danger of pro-rating. There are so many to choose from, you can't have one ding on your record, or we'll just go somewhere else. (NT) -- No name, 19:55:21 10/07/05 Fri
NES always gives what was promised. Good system (NT) -- No name, 08:49:15 10/08/05 Sat
- We love NES too, it is very fair, gives more then promised and scoresheets given and master available after award (NT) -- No name, 20:08:04 10/08/05 Sat
MAGICAL DREAMS! LMAO!!!!! WE DID THAT ONE TOO & GOT BURNED! TALK ABOUT HOT CHECKS! DID SHARON EVER GO TO JAIL OVER THAT? (NT) -- No name, 08:55:29 10/08/05 Sat
- we did magical dreams also, we had to sign a paper stating that they would send the money within six month and still had to wait after the six months and then finaly we got our money after I kept e-mailing her about it, I am glad our check was not hot, (NT) -- No name, 04:52:13 10/10/05 Mon
What Beautiful Faces Pageant? There is one in GA and she gave all her money at state (NT) -- No name, 12:01:29 10/08/05 Sat
Besides giving the money watch out.Some of these systems do not give score sheets out.Why would you not give out score sheets if your pageant is fair?I would not do a pageant that did not give out score sheets for free. (NT) -- No name, 12:08:09 10/08/05 Sat
- oh give me a break. score sheets tell you nothing. (NT) -- I am sure the directors would rather you keep your sorry ass home with that attitude., 21:45:40 10/08/05 Sat
  - Not giving scoresheets means your hiding something PERIOD. There is no reason not to give them. The masters should be posted to then you can tell no funny buisness is going on (NT) -- No name, 09:24:40 10/09/05 Sun
  - I think the poster is right. Those that don't give out scoresheets right there at the pageant are usually hiding something, they are changing the scores (NT) -- No name, 15:12:39 10/09/05 Sun
    - there is no reason to not gieb out scoresheets at the pageant if the directors are honest (NT) -- No name, 18:09:37 10/09/05 Sun
WE DID CIJ AND EVEN THOUGH WE GOT JUST BEAUTY, ALL THE MONEY WAS PAID. FAIR PAGEANT. (NT) -- No name, 16:23:33 10/10/05 Mon
