As a reaction to other historic shows where certain building styles were favored and others discouraged by the judging preferences and selection of winners, and as a further reaction against competitions were personalities and public favor played significantly in the outcome, the GSL Championship was fashioned to provide a "safe harbor" to competitive builders interested in aggressive, quality building. The GSL Championship has always been a forum where excellence, craftsmanship, good humor and friendship would be sponsored and encouraged.
Over the years, the scrupulously fair nature of the GSL Championship has encouraged an ever-widening group of wonderful and very competitive scale vehicle builders to attend and be a part of the series of the greatest scale vehicle contest series ever created. As an outgrowth of that commitment to fairness, GSL competitors and attendees developed a cheerful demeanor where friendships were made and renewed regularly where it was safe to share ideas and techniques where your efforts were respected and rewarded, and where everyone is challenged by the work they see.
In fact, one of the several attractions of the Championship has always been the cheerful and cordial demeanor of the participants. The attendees and builders always share their techniques and thoughts about building better models, encouraged in no small part by judging impartiality and good humor that are hallmarks of the Championships.
