Tony,
I have often checked your post and note that nobody knows or took the time to respond. In many ways the selection of finalist is more critical than sorting out the ranking of the small handful that have survived. They also decide the special awards and recognition from all the entries. I understand the practicality of two step judging but often wonder how much gets rejected in step one that another set of judges would consider award worthy. Years ago I was rejected from a regional show and shortly after won "Best of Show" with the same painting. Obviously the latter judges were far more competent.
