I haven't witnessed any cheating in a contest, really haven't been in hardly any but when I had my buck scored for P@Y the measurer told me people are now gluing 2 different skull plates together to make a rack for P@Y. In some states down south its to the point where they scan or x-ray every rack some how they score to see if there's any lines in the skull plates. People will do anything to get some where these days. Every score sheet has to have something saying the skull plate was good by the P@Y or B@C measurer now a days.
