<span class="link_user">@KurtHighgrade</span>, Not the Best cultivar for a Cup or

<span class="link_user">@Plagron</span>, I know yaal doin the Best and its not easy but I dont want such politics like on the last Cup that was really Not cool,the thing is to be a real judge you should have a real Legacy Knowledge etc the last time I didnt had this feeling and you saw what was going on in and at the end from the Contest!

<span class="link_user">@The710Garden</span>, Hey, We are sincerely doing everything we can to organize the fairest possible cup. We are not interested in politics. Our long-term goal is to become the biggest cup in the scene. That can only be achieved through fair play. Do you have any ideas on how we can address your concerns?

<span class="link_user">@DutchFarmer</span>, not necessary this.. I understand your frustrations but don&#039;t call people out on yield and you are basically the best grower out there, not a good look man

<span class="link_user">@Fatnastyz</span>, Dude the competition was rigged last year and everyone knows it.. I agree nobody should be mad at colleague growers but that&#039;s it. I can definitely understand the frustration..

<span class="link_user">@The710Garden</span>, exactly

<span class="link_user">@XII_XII_MrGreen</span>, because its the Same I saw Right now again 10 judges and the Same aspects like the last time so there are for Sure the Same judges wich sadly I think to be a judge you should have a real big history on your own Why you should spread your opinion when These guys are Not havin a Name Brand or anything Else wich Stands for these aspects otherwise you will have the Same end result like the last time Brothers on Vitamin b Basics wich are makeing each other some new Birthday presents on Zero base

<span class="link_user">@XII_XII_MrGreen</span>, because theres a itchy feelin about who will judge it this time the Same way like the last time with the Same politics internally!?!

<span class="link_user">@Groots_Roots</span>, leider ja

<span class="link_user">@Groots_Roots</span>, haste nix verpasst ehrlich gesagt sei froh das du das letzt Ding nicht mitbekommen hast sonst wärst du jetzt schon ganz anders am reden brudi! Das war das allerletzte was beim letzten Contest abgegangen ist

<span class="link_user">@DutchFarmer</span>, I agree with your sentiment. To be fair, it does seem like they are trying to implement some more quantitative changes this year. I think the real test will be in how the scorecards are applied. For example, the mold conditions for a subset of the winners last year, was quickly called out by nearly all expert-level user-cultivators in the contest. If I were a judge this year, I&#039;d be on my toes to not get called out on grow technique/basics knowledge or scoring values lol

<span class="link_user">@ATLien415</span>, The contest is rigged as a casino game, the house always wins. :joy::joy: Its not what you know, but more like who you know :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

<span class="link_user">@DutchFarmer</span>, <span class="link_user">@m0use</span> We had multiple accusations from folks of quid-pro-quo as well last year. One thing is for certain though, is that last year the verbiage was about &#039;putting true skill to the test&#039; and what not...this year we have more qualitative verbiage, like &#039;legend&#039; and &#039;community&#039; and &#039;craftsmanship&#039;. So, let all participants expect that the judges want a repeat of 2025 winners with wacky grow setups, fun pictures posted not just on GD but directly to their other socials, and certainly no dried pictures for &quot;harvest&quot;. Only big fat, wet on stem pictures for your final pictures... To your point, I recall folks pointing out the environmental conditions for two of the winners last year the last few weeks of flower were in the &#039;oh shit im gonna mold for sure&#039; range. I mean for weeks. It was clearly about &#039;community&#039; and &#039;craftsmanship&#039; last year but sold as a raw competition of skill.
