i am confused. is there some historical reason why the competition is only open to men?

Oh my. Someone should let Susan Lipkins know!Posted on November 17, 2012 at 3:49 PM Sidenote, even though this is violinist.com, it was nice to see that Kelvin Scott also picked up a gold medal for his cello!
From David Burgess
Susan Lipkins, who won a gold medal, looks very much like a female. ;-)Posted on November 17, 2012 at 9:39 PM In our trade though, men vastly outnumber women, so one could expect that disparity to be reflected in competition results.
From Eric Won
Does this elevate Kelvin Scott to Hors Concours and, to compete at VSA in the future, he'll have to begin bowmaking?

I don't know the rules and I'm too lazy to look them up. Kelvin Scott has three golds now (two for viola, now one for cello), 3 silvers, two bronzes, and assorted certificates of merit. Jeff Philips now has four golds, so he could be close, Ben Ruth has a mess of them, too, and I imagine Feng Jiang must be getting close with his double gold this year. Wow. P.S. I just read somewhere that Benjamin Ruth was declared hors concours after his spectacular showing this year.
