... THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!! In which case, I have a few suggestions.
They should forget about the INTERNATIONAL JUDGES and PICK SOME JUDGES FROM TRINIDAD ... that will ensure that the TRINIDAD PLAYERS WILL "WIN" and SAVE FACE.
And they should make a GLOBAL APPEAL to EXPAT PAN LOVERS to contribute towards THE PRIZE MONEY -- THAT FIRST PRIZE in each category should NOT BE LESS than $!0,000 USD.
PAN TRINBAGO must FIND A WAY to set up a few SMALL RECORDING STUDIOS (let us call them PLATFORMS) where the TRINIDAD PLAYERS could go and do some decent quality RECORDINGS. We desperately need an ERO and PRO on the executive who are there to DELIVER and not just POSE.
EXODUS should begin TODAY reaching out to AFRICA and CANADA and ENGLAND and CUBA and SWEDEN and MORE JAPAN and AUSTRALIA to bring them into the INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION. And for the record, there are TALENTED PAN PLAYERS across AMERICA -- not just NEW YORK.
This INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY is an EXCELLENT VEHICLE for GLOBALIZING PAN -- and PAN TRINBAGO has to STEP UP and find ways to SUPPORT THIS PAN PROGRAM.
TRINIDAD should take the advice given by "bugs" and start focusing on YOUNG PAN TEENAGERS to bring them up to WORLD CLASS in the NEXT DECADE.
FINALLY: ALL PRAISES TO AINSWORTH MOHAMMED for initiating THIS PROJECT!!! THE GLOBAL POTENTIAL IS LIMITLESS!!!
