Nat,

Jim Sheffield judged Masters and flew Intermediate at your contest.  I think he did a very good job. Of course he has seen the Masters pattern flown many times and is familiar with all the judging criteria for that pattern as well as all the lower classes.  I'm of the opinion that if you have been to a judging clinic you should judge some of the upper classes.  It is easier many times to judge the upper classes than the lower ones.

I also think it is a good idea to spend just a few minutes at the pilots meeting discussing a few elements of judging at every contest.  It gives the new guys a reference as to what the judges are looking for and refreshes the experienced pilots.

  The Sulphur , La. contest was just completed with six rounds flown. There were 23 fliers with 8 sportsman and 7 intermediate.

  The judge assignments were approached with the following (mis) conceptions:
          Sportsman            no judging
          Intermediate          Sports and Adv only

  This placed quite a burden on the upper class judges.

  Would appreciate comments regarding criteria. TIA
