Here I was thinking the Aussies would provide an independent judging panel but the Pro League saw otherwise. Big Steve was there supervising the judging and it sounded like
they sent quite a few American judges over. Two from Texas? Sort of explains the same placings as the Columbus event. Well, I am guessing it is Dexter, Branch, Justin.
I do trust Bev Francis as a judge.
Raphael was there giving a speech in a strong accent. Tony did an excellent job as MC. He was the only one who could pronounce Josh Lenartowicz's name.
All those judges, competitors, officials, etc., would cost a fortune to bring out and accommodate.
The stage setting looked great so it was a professional show. Maybe more will come downunder in the future?
