As long as the same vet or team of vets do all the BC judging, the fact 
that different vets use different numbers for parameters doesn't matter. 
No matter how harsh the vets are at one ride, the horses they judge will 
not be in direct competition for the same BC award as the horses that are 
being judged leniently at a different ride.  The  raw numbers don't count 
in Regional or National standings, just who won.  So if the BC judging is 
tough at, say Swanton, but lenient at Virginia City, ALL the Swanton horses 
will be judged to the same, tough standard while at the Virginia City ride, 
with more lenient vets, ALL those horses will receive the same, "soft" judging.
