This does not always work, I have seen lots of blank comment sheets at A&S
competitions:-(

Again, it depends on the judges:-(

And be prepared to get told things like:  "But they didn't use the colors
that you used", even though the documentation you provided states otherwise:-(

Of course I am pointing out the bad side of judging, there are also examples
of good judges out there as well.
