Pattern Fun / scribe

[faipatrn]

At the contest this weekend  (GREAT JOB , North Dallas RC, and Gene Maurice!!), I **NEEDED** a scribe when judging....there wasn't one....then I hollered a little louder, and one was found....Then, because I didn't know the scribe, I did exactly as Lance outlined, and tried NOT to miss any stuff, but I'm certain I did.
    At the local contests, using contestant judging, and wearing everyone out calling, carrying, and judging, ADDING more judges doesn't seem a workable idea....particularly if we can't even field SCRIBES !!!
    There MUST be someway reasonably-priced to 'electrify' this process using some technology....

  I've noticed that even when scribes are there, judges look away.  They look at the scribe and say the score.  Sometimes they will glance at the scribes sheet to make sure they wrote the right number.  At the nats we were asked to write the scores on a pad and let the scribe copy them.  This allowed a cross check after the flight for accuracy.  I observed judges looking down to write their score, not trusting themselves to keep the scores in a column without looking.   

  Bottom line, it takes some thought, preparation, and practice to keep your eyes on the plane regardless of scribes.
