Subject: Crowning Moments

Let me sum it up for you.

They lied about the hotel "mix up" the schedule had T-shirt Fri. afternoon and the pageant starting at 3pm, as it did, for months and I have an e-mail and print outs of the web site to prove it.
They cancelled a category we all had to pay for in our packages and they forced us to also purchase a T-shirt in our mandatory fees that we could not return after the category was cancelled.
They cancelled the carnival that we all were required to pay for in our mandatory fees.
They did not furnish us with a program until the event was over and we also paid for that in our mandatory fees.
The program book was of the lowest possible quality and we could not refuse it or return it.
They turned away the Queens from the photos.
They refuse to give any refunds for anything they cancelled.
They allowed contestants to pay for 3rd pro-ams and re-do their mistakes after competing even though the paperwork clearly says you are allowed only 1 extra modeling event.
They allowed judges who are involved with the contestants and the trainers, judges who currently compete against the contestants and who have some sort of actual ownership in the pageant.

Here's what we really lost:
Crowning cost $45 to watch both days. Everything else in the manditory fees was either not given, cancelled or furnished after it was no longer needed.
Therefore, the remaining $55 per person should be refunded.

Beauty costs $250 per person if done separately. The packages represent about 50% off so if you purchased a package you paid about $125 per person for main beauty. According to the paperwork:

NATIONAL MAIN BEAUTY CATEGORIES & AWARDS
The main competition consists of Beauty and Mandatory T- Shirt.

We received only 1 out of 2 of these categories and are due a refund of half of the fee. That would be $62.50 per person for a grand total of $117.50 per person.

There were over 100 people in the pageant. That means CM owes us collectively a minimum of $11,700.00

How do you feel about that? Personally, I'm sickened to know that they took all of that money from us and amazed that any-one would defend them.
