As much as I dislike agreeing with Brad Paul, in this case he is 100% correct. Being a Contest Director can be somewhat like being a military officer. There are times when the "Ol' Buddy" stuff has to be thrown in the Waste Can. If you don't have the guts for the job, then don't take the job. Been at it for 50 years, and sometimes it gets tough, especially when one has to get tough with someone that has been a friend for sometime.
