Anyone know about how many calls get entered and how they actually judge them?

I know Hank's had 2 or 3 pro staff members judging last year
Yeah I saw that debacle on another forum. I don't think prostaff members of participating call makers should be able to judge the division their company is competing in. It would be difficult not to have a degree of biased.

doesnt matter, from what I gather its more of a popularity contest as to who wins. NOT the best pot. mostly political, Mike

I like DD Adams calls, if they win you can bet it'll be pure turkey should the consumer go get one.

A few I have and play, a few have earned a spot in my vest a few have earned backups on the shelf should I misplace one.

Its pretty easy to win when the judges are on your pro staff. Paul got robbed last year. And that is coming from a callmaker that was competing against him!

Nothing against the call makers, but hopefully its someone that can fill customers orders so we can purchase the calls. Maybe that's a bit selfish?

We are our own worst enemies. As soon as someone posts the next greatest best call ever,
200 plus people get in line for one,and then wonder why the call wait went from 4 weeks (aka Paul Platz) to 2 years plus.I'm just using Paul as an example, but a true one.
But I have watched the circus go round and round, with other callmakers as well.

its a shame its a flawed system but judging turkey calls is going to be a very subjective opinionated business once you add pro-staff and friendships into the equation you are bound to get a practically irrelevant result.

I get that some people are upset because someone else didn't win, but coming from someone with a young daughter it is cool the young lady won. I would hate to judge this contest, I'd bet there are a ton of awesome calls there. I can't imagine picking a favorite
