With all due respect to you all: I have probably judged more LD BCs than anyone else and I have always thought it fair to them to judge the top ten just like the other distances. It does take time which the rider deserves if he or she finishes in the top ten. I dont think it takes away from the finishers in the other distances or gets in the way of them either. I enjoy vetting rides and the LD riders always help pay our fees which allows me to continue vetting rides. You riders sound like the other horse clubs always bitching about something that doesnt mean squat.
