<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Creating the unknowns in the afternoon complicates things for the CD because he would then have to find replacements for any of the FAI finalists that have Masters judging assignments. It's all a pretty delicate balance from what I've seen and makes me really appreciate the CD, whoever it happens to be.</FONT></DIV>
