A "Double Judged"
show means that we will have two independent
judges at the August 1st show.
This will make up for the points from the June 6
show that was cancelled. Each judge will
provide an independent score for each rider.
This of course will mean that there will also be
double fees to pay for the two independent judges.
The judges for the August 1st show will
be Dewey Brown and Beth Repass.
