Certain thoughts keep coming up....

So I pose a question:

If you could design a Kingdom-wide A&S competition from the ground up, what would it be like?

Speaking as someone who has judged on various occasions, nobody really wishes to read 20 pages of documentation either... I find it nearly impossible to give needed x-amount of pages worth of documentation proper attention under a time constraint. I would love to see reasonable sized maximums!

I think substituting ingredients or other items is quite fine, so long as the competitor is able to demonstrate knowledge of the proper items. For example, I won't lead on anything people are going to touch... I'm not about to use abortifacients in food and yes, cost is going to matter into things as well! However, I will point out what should have been used, what I used and the differences/compromises between them.
