Subject: How about a rule that there will be no starting line ups

This way the judges can`t hold back scores based on this lineup. Every child is judged based on what they see the first time. Then, in a final lineup, the judges can score the side awards. This way each child is seen and judged without regard to the fact that a judge likes a child further on in the lineup.

[> I agree there should be no starting lineups. We recently attended a pageant where the child that won started screaming as soon as she steped out on stage, she kicked her mother and had to be carried off the stage still kicking and screaming, but this child still won. -- Anonymous, 04:53:46 10/22/07 Mon [1]

[> Sorry, I hit enter too soon. This child was beautiful but they had to have scored her on the starting line up. there is no way they could have scored stage presence, modeling or anything else but personality based on what she did in the beauty part of the pageant. -- Anonymous, 04:58:02 10/22/07 Mon [1]

[> agreed, no starting line ups. I want my dd to be seen as a suprise to the judges and dont want her passed over because in starting l/u they already picked the winner. -- Anonymous, 05:43:21 10/22/07 Mon [1]

[> I don't know about the starting line up thing, but I have a face pageant and I want a close up apprasial in front of the judges. It's hard to tell when they are far away. I like them to do their beauty walk and then off the stage to go in front of the judges for close up scores. -- Anonymous, 05:54:49 10/22/07 Mon [1]

[> [> OK Then in the face pageants the girl could stand in front of the judge alone just before she goes on stage. but most starting lineups are done on stage at the same distance as the individual judging is done. But there should not be another girl at that face judging to compare to. There are ways to be fair to all the girls without it being a problem for anyone. -- Anonymous, 10:33:31 10/22/07 Mon [1]

[> Sunshine never does beginning lineups. Scores are passed down after every child in individual competition. That way no one is compared. -- Anonymous, 11:31:00 10/22/07 Mon [1]
