[George Kennie]

Am I the only one who sees a parallel here between this issue and the TO/&L  debacle???

If that is the case then why are we all having this discussion and why is the NSRCA submitting a list to AMA for judge selection recommendations by them for the 2005 WC If this has already been determined. Or is this list for the 2007 WC? Sounds like the latest post's have confused the issue for many of us who are on the outside looking in, can you please expand on the fact's to explain what is going on with this issue since I may need to retract statements that I made in a previous post that were the results of me possibly not understanding the issue.

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.
