Only one Ralph... but ANA is not obligated to award a First Place in that category unless the exhibit scores high enough points on the judges rating sheets to warrant a First Place. Jerry's exhibit was outstanding and scored very high. There were well over fifty individual exhibitors and over fifty judges for the 15 categories entered this year. We're talking well over 100 cases of exhibits, maybe even 200. Each category is assigned three judges. Each First Place exhibit in each category is eligible for Best In Show.

We do need to enter more exhibits in our Gaming category at Chicago next year or risk the possibility of losing our own Casino Chips & Gaming Tokens category and being lumped in with "Tokens & Medals".
