Further, while the MCAB reserves the right to make additions or subtractions to this list in the future, the first twelve of these competitions will be "presumptive" MCAB QE's in all future years (meaning, unless the MCAB decides to terminate a competition as a QE, it will remain a QE in all future years). The Heart of the Valley Competition and Novembeerfest will similarly be considered "presumptive" QE's but we will stick with our prior practice of alternating them . . . meaning the Heart of the Valley competition is a QE in odd numbered years (05, 2007, etc.) and Novembeerfest is a QE in even numbered years (06, 2008, etc.).
