  You can save much more money by just bribing the scorekeeper!  Just one person, and he/she is the one that actually puts in the scores!

      I learned that a long time ago it was smarter to bribe the scribes rather than the judges. Scribes were cheaper too...  (4 those 2 serious this was said tongue firmly planted in cheek...)



    I once scribed for a notoriously 'low judge'. The CD asked me how it went and I told him, "It was great once I realized that I didn't have to write down the scores he gave me." He about had a fit until I told him I was just kidding.

       I have seen that also. 
       
       We have to use scribes that really know what is expected and how important these scores are to the pilots. I
       
      The question is how do we get scribes that are trained and responsible. that is difficult unless they are pilots.  It is very sad when a pilot has to scribe judge and fly at a contest.
       
       It really is not as simple  as  "just write down what I tell you" Man
       
      When its 100 degrees out and we need scribes many are asked to help that are not really ready to scribe.  I often wonder was it the Judge or the scribe  that wrote that outrageous O or 5 when it should have been a 9  :-)
       
       
      . We really do not have an answer yet.  Perhaps we might have some of the sophisticated suggestions made on the subject put into action. Research the idea. An extra dollar or two from each contest to work on an electronic program. A committee  could be set up with the  NSRCA
      Might take awhile but its a move towards a solution. Lets face it the score a scribe writes down decides the winner.

      I know I'm way-late on this thread however, the use of a scribe does not in
      itself guarantee better judging.  Just this weekend, we/I witnessed judges
      using scribes for Masters & FAI, looking "down" to tell the scribe what the
      score is..... it was kind of funny to watch.  In fact, given that they were
      looking down before the use of a scribe, the addition of a scribe only
      increase the chances of errors, as they (still looking down), had to
      transfer information to another person.
