KCBS by state & province

Growing and shrinking (contests in the last three completed seasons vs the three before)

Both ends of the table, so a scene in trouble shows up as clearly as one on the way up. Regions with fewer than 10 contests in the earlier window are left out — a scene that went from three contests to nine is not “up 200%” in any way that matters.

Does a bigger field mean a higher score? (one dot per region)

Across → the typical field size. Up ↓↑ the average winning score. If deep fields drove scores up, the dots would climb left to right; where they don't, the region's judging is doing the work instead. Hover over or tap a dot to see which region it is.

Lower is harder. The gaps between the four bars in one region say which turn-in that region's tables mark down; the gaps between regions say whose tables mark down at all.

The race over time (contests per season up to 2026 — the six busiest regions)

When each region cooks (contests by month, all seasons — the six busiest regions)
