Scoring Vs Judging

[Del Rykert]

What I wonder is the results of a sharp judge catching a wrong way horrigan mistake (thus zero) and other judge awards a positive number. Does the matrix look at judge giving the correct zero as being inconsistent. The other judge could be a random number generator..

  Consistant judging is a perpetual problem. I seem to be doing more scoring than competing now days. Judging consistancy is down. After we have a mandatory series of Judging Seminars it always gets better. The scoring software I use lets me choose an "alert level" when the two judges deviate. I keep it set at 2 points and I verify the data was properly keyed in each alert. Some deviations are to be expected, especially those involving box violations. There is a general feeling that the upper class flyers are better judges, but they are no more consistant than those in lower classes. 

  Many (most?) of our best judges are not especially known for their flying skills. In fact, quite a few don't fly at all!

    I agree...

    If we have consistent judging, then the low average round becomes a product of the environment for the round. More difficult environment should produce a lower scoring round and the weight of the raw point should then be rewarded for doing better than the other pilots.

    I'm not worried about winning right now. I feel like I've had a real good flight when I survive to fly the next round...
