Judging season is officially underway.

On this episode of Barely Awake Radio, we kick off our first judging session for the 2025 X Cup, part of XPOCanna, happening February 14 weekend at the Aqua Turf in Connecticut.

This isn’t our first time judging — but it is the start of this year’s process. We break down how judging actually feels early on, what stands out right away, what surprises us, and what people outside the process usually get wrong about how these cups are evaluated.
