[> [> Subject: And what about all the girls who aren't eligible anywhere? There are 58 counties in CA and at least 30 of them have no pageants. And even someplace like Orange County only has structured locals limited to certain communities, so if there were no Miss Orange County open, there would be huge areas of that county where girls would have nowhere to compete. And don't even think of responding with "just start up new pageants." It's much easier said than done.

[> [> [> Subject: Some pageants should have larger eligibility areas. There should be regional ones, should be county ones. We need to get to a point where all of California is included in a local eligibility area, but I don't think that limiting girls to two closed titles is as beneficial as Bob suggests.
