World Judge selection process - wrong button

[Grow Pattern]

Sorry,
          This was supposed to be a direct note to Gray. Needed to cut and paste the address rather than hit the reply button. My bad!

Regards,

Eric.

  Gray,
            I happen to be a Don Ramsey fan. He was tremendously helpful to me when I needed to get the last rules survey out. They are both pretty nice guys.

  For a moment I thought that you meant that I had said the system was rigged or something. Far from it! Then I read the first post that opened up the whole subject and saw the implications.

  I think that the system needs some work (see my note to Matt), and that other selection criteria should be added. 

  In an ideal world I would have liked to have seen Bob go and then Don be the next guy. I guess that I am guilty of knowing Bob too well and thinking that it would have been a good thing for him to dive into since he lost his wife last year.

  The discussion list can get a bit rough at times but it's always better out than in!

  Regards,

  Eric.

    I'm am sure Bob feels bad, my heartburn came from the accusation that the system was jacked with, and the absolute insinuation that Don was to blame...sorry, that is no good.

    Gray, 
              I wonder how Bob Noll is feeling right now. I guess he has to just suck it up after the time and personal investment that he put into this?

    Anyone who thinks Don Ramsey played politician, or designed the judging system to play to his favor is just freakin' nuts. Don was an advocate of trying to NOT have the system reward the best "average" judge.   
    No matter what,someone will be pissed off, whether they know the facts or not. Usually on this list the facts are not known as has been show by some of these posts. 

    Not speaking for Don, but for those who may be offended by the selection, let me say Tough Stuff.... suck it up you will survive. 

    By the way all you numbnuts.....Don was a Delta Pilot who used to fly to Europe EVERY month and still can for FREE.....Do you really think he needs NSRCA to get a free trip to France?
