What Gray says is absolutely correct, BUT I would only recommend 
attending the Sunday judge training session as the last resort.  First, 
an Intermediate pilot attending his first Nats will be almost 
overwhelmed by it and that's not the time to be trying to learn how to 
judge.  Second, I do the judging matrix for the Nats and I will only 
use an Intermediate judge if he/she responds to the judging questions 
in the entry form in such a way that I feel he/she is competent to 
judge Advanced pilots fairly.  We hope that all pilots will have 
attended a judge training clinic and have done some judging at local 
contests before showing up at the Nats.  Most of the Intermediate 
pilots are assigned to do flightline frequency control.  Only the 
pilots who have attended a judge training clinic and report confidence 
with judging one class up or down are assigned to judge at the Nats.  
It's only right that competitors be judged fairly by experienced 
judges.
