The northeaststarpageant pageant guestbook said:

It has come to our attention as why we do not give out scores. We follow the judging criteria of the Miss Maine America system, that was set up for us as a non-profit organization. All scores are to be kept confidential. So we follow that rule.

Their website is http://www.freewebs.com/northeaststarpageant

They removed this post after people questioned if they were affiliated with Miss Maine. (They obviously aren't.)

This is what they say on there website now, after deleting the post about being affiliated with Miss Maine (they are not affiliated in any way):

Miss Maine America is a non-profit organization, which We should have said , so we are following SOME of the guidelines. We can not speak for other pageants as we do not know their guidelines. Being involved with Miss International which was a prelim at one time to Miss Maine, (we still follow those guidelines that was set up as a prelim in the past at Miss International )so we decided to use SOME of the same things with the Northeast Star pageant. Northeast Star is non-profit because all funds received from entry fees and door admissions go back for school rental fees, tiaras, trophies, sashes, cash awards and a donation to the Make-A-Wish foundation. (IF!) any funds are left over they would go back for next year for tiaras prizes etc.
