Judges

[Troy Newman]

Wow that ends up on average about an 8% deviation for all 9 pilots.....46Points average....and then divide by the winners round score a about a 560......The fact this is before any Hi-Lo or TBL corrections are made means its close...Pretty close.....Its a point here or a point there that is the difference......By the way the rules in the Sporting code call for when there are 5 judges and 10 pilots then TBL is to be used. This was not the case and the Hi-Low drop method was used. 

I'm not advocating either method they both have good and bad points that can be made for them....But the rules state TBL is to be used.

Or another way to look at it Average of 46 pts difference and a K of 67...The deviation is around 0.68 pts per maneuver when the numbers are applied...This is great since the scoring in F3A is Whole points


Don, as a pilot that was flying in the final....I want to thank you and the judging team for your efforts to standardize and increase consistency in judging. This is great info to back up the results of the judge training schools....Add to that the list of new names that were in the final as judges.....Man its good to see.

You new guys are more than up to the task. I also liked the way the judges rotated a little and only saw action for 2 of the 3 rounds. This helps eliminate bias and keeps fresh eyes watching for outstanding maneuvers as well as defects.

Kudos

  I just finished looking over the judging stats for the finals at the NATS.  In my opinion, all the judges did an excellent job.  As an example, here's round 1 from the FAI Finals and the range of scores the 5 judges assigned. 

  Szczur     533 to 557  range 24 points difference from low to high
  Hyde        547 to 572           25
  Newman   496 to 537           41
  Collinson   486 to 550           64
  Byrd          510 to 531           21
  Jesky        446 to 519           73
  Lockhart    481-541               60
  Harrison     464 to 531           67
  Blose         477 to 519           42
  Hebert        Problem flight

  Now that's a pretty tight spread for 5 judges.  I'd say that's it a tribute to the quality of judges that participated in judging the finals.  Thanks for all the help and remember you judges are now in the matrix for recommendation for our world judge.  To be considered, you need 8 rounds of finals at the NATS or any round judged at the Team Selection.  If you want in this matrix, volunteer to judge the finals at next years NATS.
