That's how all of my ballet competitions worked, and in Irish dance, a feis only counted in your standings if you had a certain number of competitors. Am I the only person that wouldn't want a trophy from a competition that had 2 competitors? Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist, but I would consider it worthless.
Other than Toddlers and Tiaras, I'm completely unversed in the pageant world. Does anyone know if the bigger pageants that focus on teenagers and young adults also have all of the extra/optional categories? It makes sooo much more sense now why some people had won certain awards at pageants on the show- they were potentially the only one competing for it

Parents didn't like to pay $ and drive all the all the way to a comp for their kids to compete against one team.
It's like pageants are opposite, parents don't mind paying a ton of money for their kid to compete against like two girls because it means their "special little snowflake" is guaranteed a prize.
