Not to pick nits too badly, but some of those entries have been making the rounds so much lately, they need to start getting frequent flier miles.
There are a couple of things in there I've seen more than once in my limited travels among the New England show scene.
More importantly, isn't there a rule about not competing 'down'? That is, if you place at a regional, you are not supposed to enter the kit in a smaller show (even if that kit has not been to that show before)
I get that if you have built a masterwork, you want to show it and do well. That's human nature, but at some point it is time to give a well worn show pony a rest.
-edit- sorry , meant to add - How many of those will we see in circulation for the next rounds of shows.
Any bets on who shows up at Granite-con?
My US$0.02, your miliage may vary.

Granitecon has a rule against any regional winners entering. The other New England shows do not. Typically, those of us who do the circuit will enter once at each show. Baycon had a rule against any first place winner at any other event, but a couple years ago, it became too unwieldy and judging thee "Masters" category, all first place items, was absurd. In any case, all the New England events disallow all previous winners from their own events at any subsequent events.
