A possible answer to lousy judging "Flash cards"

Maybe I'm missing the point here. I don't think anyone needs to see the scores until the round is complete. There are enough distractions for the pilots and judges from the spectators now.

Who get's to see the pad? How does this help in our ability to judge the judging? Mike

I believe the pad is the best answer. Two years ago at the NATS finals Somenzini's scores were lost in transport to scoring. Two judges were asked to refile and only the scratch pads saved the day. I always put the contestant name or number at the top of a column and record the scores vertically. If there is a scribe there is no need for questions about anything until the round is finished. I check the scribe or transcribe the scores after the final maneuver. Of course, this may not allow me to view the entire landing sequence.

The only other system I have found that works well is using a pad to write down the scores and hopefully the scribe can read my scribble and I don't overwrite my scores. It is better but not perfect. At least not perfect for me. When I have a knowledgeable scribe that is used to my system scores flow. When I have a warm body stuck in scribes chair the system breaks down no matter what the system is in some cases especially while judging FAI.
Keep the thoughts flowing and something better might be created.
I do what Del describes, except that I usually don't use a scribe. After the last airborne maneuver, I transcribe from the pad to the scoresheet. I am usually done before the airplane is on final landing approach.
