It is true that I was on the committee to assemble a judge ranking 
system.  It should not be surprising that the other members of the 
committee are also ardent supporters of fair and proper judging of R/C 
aerobatics.  You'd hope to have individuals on a committee who were 
passionate about the subject of the committee.

The ranking of particular individuals by the ranking system was not a 
factor in the makeup of the system.  However, it should also not be 
surprising that, due to their passion about the subject, the other 
members of the committee were ranked high by the system.   After 
inclusion of judging data from the 2004 Nats, Don Ramsey is ranked #1 
and Matt Kebabjian is ranked #2.  BTW, I am #8, behind Eric Henderson 
and ahead of Mike Dunphy.  Don Ramsey will be reporting on the current 
judge rankings in the next issue of the K-Factor.

It is not my intent to conduct a "running gun battle" on this subject.  
I just want to do everything I can to ensure that people who do their 
best to judge fairly and accurately are rewarded with proper 
recognition of their ranking and and the top-ranked judges have the 
opportunity to participate in future F3A World Championships.
