Thought I would share part of a message that I received from one of the more notable bonsai artist on this subject. It, for me at least seemed to put everything in the right order.
Any way thanks to all that had an input. The comments that I received gave me much to think about.

***************
Possible reasons:

* The demonstrator is more interested in glory than in good sense.
* The demonstrator does not understand the climatic idiosyncrasies of the
area
* The material was not in good health (organizers tend to buy the cheapest).
* The work is done out of season.
* The winner does not have the appropriate aftercare facilities.
* The winner does not have the experience to care for the tree after stress.

Apart from the first possibility, all others are either directly or
indirectly the responsibility of the organizers of said demonstration.
