We can do one of two things:  We (NSRCA) can either say that nothing 
can be done and let  behind-the-scenes politics decide who will go to 
the 2005 F3A WC as the U.S. judge, or we can let everyone in the world 
know who the NSRCA top-ranked judges are and force the people who want 
to play politics with U.S, judge selection out into the open where 
their actions will be transparent.  We chose the latter.  The list of 
the five NSRCA top-ranked judges has been sent to AMA's Competition 
Department for transmittal to the 2005 F3A WC organizing committee.  In 
addition, several individuals outside the U.S. have been informed of 
our judge ranking process and the results of the ranking.
