Buddy the biggest reason that they do finals in masters and FAI, is that  
they don't fly in front of the same judges unlike the  Intermediate and advanced 
then you have the problem of finding more judges  also according to the number 
of pilots you use in both classes, if you  use 8 pilots and single flight 
lines and 3 rounds it wouldn't be  over and all others would, if they use 2 
flight lines then more judges just  don't seem practical to me.  
No I don't fly advanced  anymore for many reasons #1 because I feel like I 
have a short time to  get as good as I can be at age 56, the last 3 years I have 
practiced the  FAI pattern in the fall and feel I have learned much more than 
staying flying  advanced, so now I only flying FAI not good at it but I learn 
something  every time I fly, #2 I like the pattern changing every 2 years #3 
not  everyone and there brother have a say in what FAI do (less problems and  
headaches) #4 I never could get score down at the site 4 and from  what I 
could see I was one of a few that was tring to emulate the FAI and  Masters 
pilots, I proved this last year last day, by just doing fast rolls no  finess at all 
just fast and stop my scores went up by 100 raw points I was  told all years 
on site 4 that I was the only one that really ever showed good  throttle 
management but still no scores #5 if  I'm going to be last I'd rather be last in 
FAI than last in  advanced.

There are plenty of judges available to do what I suggest, even to the  point 
of flying everyone in front of the same judges. The fact is that if you do  
this many will be required to judge two and some all three days. If people go 
to  the Nat's to pick the best then they should be willing to do what is 
necessary  to accomplish that. If they use the Nat's as a vacation and are not 
willing  to do what is necessary to help assure that, then we will never know who 
is  actually the best we will only know who in a mathematical probability   
most likely is the best, and given the fact that the best judges are not  used 
every day on every flight line the mathematical probability is most likely  not 
correct so why do we continue to settle for the possibility of allowing  the 
worst of the best determine the winners. 
If that is what we want, then I will get off of my soap box and shut my  
mouth.
