I think today was probably the worst judging experience I've ever had. Due to very last minute guideline changes, the Judges were forced to just pick their favourites out of over 70-80 entrants within minutes. It was frustrating to be placed on the spot so suddenly (because unless told to do so before hand, who actually remembers the best cosplayers out of so many?), even more frustrating having wasted so much time tallying up and working out appropriate scores for each contestant when they weren't used in the end.
But I know Shi Tenshi won't let today's events happen again, and Shi don't you dare beat yourself up for what happened. It wasn't your fault at all. And my heart goes out to all the cosplayers who entered, seriously, I admire the guts and effort it takes for all of you to get up on stage and be judged! I still hope you guys had a great time regardless.
Why is my Manifest experience this year so bad? O_o;
