As a bit of reflected glory, I can state honestly that for over 20 years I have been playing the same band as a bassist who once gained 3rd place on the Worst Trousers section of the Folk Roots Readers' Poll

yes, but who were the judges? Were they qualified, were there any tailors in the list? If I had known who they were, I would have sent them sample trousers to bribe them. Was a list of potential worst trousers circulated in advance to the judges, and why didn't it include my worst trousers?
