Marking System to Award Ribbons?
I'm just wondering about how quilt shows are marked/placed.
I entered a show and received a Third, which I was really happy with, but when I looked at the other quilts in my section, there was no First or Second place ribbons awarded. I looked at other sections and saw the same thing happening...sometimes there would be no First, but there would be a Second and Third, sometimes a First, but no Second or Third, etc.
How does this work? Is there a marking system with a minimum mark for each ribbon? I know when I show my horse, you have to attain a minimum 60% to get a Championship ribbon, even if you come in first. Is it the same in quilt shows?
Just wondering, because it will give me an idea of what percentage my quilt got.
