Can you only submit one plug? I made a flaptail but it's not my best. I wanted to enter the rookie category with my nicest work.

In the past you could enter 2 plugs as long as they were made for different categories, so I'm assuming that still applies this year. |

How do you folks judge the rookie plugs? Is it based more on appearance / finish / paint, or is it based on fuction (is there a way to test how they swim)? Thinking of taking the plunge and submitting one....  |

They are judged by everyone mostly on appearance, there is no way to swim them unless someone is building a test tank. You submit the plug in a paper bag with an entrance form to keep it anonymous. Then everyone at plugfest will have a chance to take a look and submit their choice for the best in the category. Everyone is encouraged to enter so go for it. |

I am not one of the judges but I think subtle improvements would be fine but not sure about addition of eyes,maybe one of the judges will comment.
rookie is a new builder, first year in the contest and new at building plugs |

I'd go as close to Original as possible ,, Example ,, Eyes on the Professors Bass Aqua last year would have totally ruined it .
On the Rookie I'd say 1st year builders ,, If guys have been building for years and want to pawn themselves off as rookies ,,that's kind of lame .. |
