Having a sorority sister in the pageant system - although she's in med school now, I haven't checked up on her lately - she's been qualified to compete in Missouri and Illinois and would do so in both until she won a local one. It is apparently very common.

ETA: Alphafrog's right, my sister found Missouri easier than Illinois, at least at the local/regional levels.

I have never heard of this before!!! Seems a little shady and unfair to me.
