I had not heard of limiting entries before, but I see why it might seem
desirable.

Has anyone talked to the "offenders" to suggest that with fewer entries they
could groom better and actually get more blue ribbons? Is there any possibility
of forcing them into a commercial category (not eligible for silver & bronze
medals)?

(Maybe try embarassing them by having the club give anti-medals to the entrants
with the most non-ribbon entries.           ;-)

Can you get more panels of judges, to speed up the judging?

It would seem to me that limiting entries should be a last resort, but necessary
in some circumstances.
