Marlin,

They are separate sanctioning bodies with different formats and criteria. That's why it's nice to have a car judged at NCRS and Bloomington. Of course, Bloomington is once a year and is a for profit venue. They do have very qualified judges, probably the best in the business or the cream of the crop.
NCRS events are all around the world and the severity and quality of the judging depends on if it is a Chapter, Regional or National event. There may be a very small Chapter event in some States with relatively new and less experienced judges. The venues are different and you never mention NCRS at Bloomington. It's kind of discouraged to even have an NCRS sticker on your car at Bloomington. They just evolved as separate organizations with lots of overlap in judging. All the Bloomington judges probably judged NCRS. Bloomington is for profit with a very limited time to review cars and NCRS is a non profit organization that allows all the time you want to review cars. NCRS grooms and encourages new judges at Chapter and Regional events. National NCRS meets use the Master judges, no messing around at this level. It is sure nice to have a car judged at a National NCRS event and at Bloomington.
