Confused

I have a question that I can’t seem to find an answer for...

Why are most aerobatics aircraft a tailwheel? I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.... the zlin is a nose dragger and performs beautifully.... I've got lots of time on the decath and Pitts...Ok, fair enough to say the CofG is the main difference between the taildrager and nose dragger... and why are most aerobatics machines taildraggers? What’s the reason behind this? I can’t think of a logical explanation! loll someone help me out here? I'm pretty sure it’s a simple answer.... maybe something to do with the CofG? But, apart from the taxing, takeoff and landing, I can’t see much of a difference in the air.
