European Champs, Alcochete, Portugal 2004 ** Klipped **

Having read a bunch of this thread for awhile now.. I guess I have a 
couple comments (everyone else does.. why not me?)

The fact that John, Ron, and Tony have submitted proposals that go against 
the NSRCA feedback should not be automatically labelled as wrong. Just 
because the masses want something doesn't always mean it is correct and 
should happen. This seems to discard the LONG time involvement of these 
people and their wealth of experience in the subject matter. 

The comments about Bob Noll representing the USA as the F3A judge in 2005 
puzzles me as well. Are you upset that some process isn't being followed 
or upset that Bob is going to be a judge? Is he a competent judge? Will he 
represent the USA well in this capacity? If yes, then it seems to me he 
shouldn't be the target of this (which is the impression I got). 

Lastly.. how does this judge rating system work? Just because someone 
gives a score that's pretty close to the average doesn't make him/her 
right. I've been accused more than once of being wrong for giving a zero 
when in fact the other judges just missed an error or misapplied the 
downgrades. Giving a score that varies from other judges isn't always the 
wrong decision.

Just speaking out loud here I guess..
