I wish this could have been a year ago, as I could have gone to nats in Columbus. Oh well. I do prefer the IPMS shows and judging, as they're about as objective as you can get in a very subjective art. That's what I like about them.
Judging at the Nats is really no different that any other IPMS with one notable exception....currently you can get an award for just showing up.
It's called a premier award and any first time entrant gets one.

You may be also in for some big disappointments, as some of the worst judging debacles I've seen have been from IPMS judges at IPMS shows.
