There is nothing wrong with pro-rating - as long as it is advertised. You have GOT to read the paperwork -carefully. Surely a director can not give out $3000 in cash awards..if they only take in $1000 in fees... that is why they need "x" amount of contestants to cover all the expenses - not just the cost of the cash awards. I don't for a second think the majority of directors are out to trick a single sole - most of the time - it's all right in the paperwork. Pro-rating without it being in the paperwork however, is wrong, and the director should be called on it.

Now not giving out advertised titles however..is another issue. Sometimes however everyone that was "eligible" for a certain title (like a door supreme) may have bumped to a higher title - leaving that title unawarded. Gifts - well thats a tricky one - again all in the wording.. "Bag of Gifts" "Gift".. could be a matter of perception of what is expected based off past pageant experiences rather than what is received.

It's best to NOT leave the pageant if you have these questions, and just simply ask the director - calmly..what happened. I know nearly every director in Cali-and I'd have to say I can't think but maybe one or two who wouldn't take the time to explain things to you...but you have to ask. Going home and "what if'ing" the questions and getting angry - only makes things worse. :)
