Indeed it would!!! After the initial shock of the perfect score wear off.  
Perfect score is ZERO of course.

John  covers most of the points. It's important to recognize that the class 
that  someone competes in only addresses his / her flying skills, not judging 
 
skills. Our certification process is the basis for ensuring that everyone  
has taken a look at the rules and been exposed to discussion of the finer  
points. Judging skills may advance much more quickly than flying skills if  a 
little work is applied, so it's important for CD's to inquire as to  where 
individuals fit in and use them in their judging matrix  accordingly.

A ranking system incorporated into out cert process would  certainly be 
useful, however the methodology for arriving at a proper  ranking is not 
without difficulty. Maybe group (non competition) judging  of several flights 
during the certification event, with scores compared to  the "experienced" 
judges used for ranking (a real judging test)? Of course  the logistics of 
this, considering many cert programs are conducted during  the offseason when 
weather precludes much flying, are also  difficult.

The best answer may be some sort of electronic flight  scoring system that 
handles geometry, box limits, centering, and distance,  leaving only the 
subjective smoothness / gracefulness to the judges. Just  think - all of the 
objective elements, that we're all sure that we do  correctly, would be 
accurately scored every time! Dean - you should be  able to handle the 
hardware, just make sure that it's simple to use,  light, cheap, and 
accurate. Would this ever make a great practice  tool!
