Judge like they do the bonzai competitions. purely on the looks of the final product. have 5-10 judges each voting on a scale from 1-10 without the influance of another. A seporate scale to judge either time, or fluidity of movement would make an exelent tie-breaker. If any complain that they just got a bum tree, well tough a true master can reveal the beauty of any tree.( sometimes the beauty lies in the basal cut)
