Performance Judging? Trial Balloon

[Verne Koester]

Don,
In the prelims, I had some pretty healthy point spreads as well, but I don't recall the exact numbers. My recollection is that for the most part, the judge who had the low numbers was pretty consistently low throughout the whole flight compared to the other two judges. I'm okay with that as long as that consistency is maintained for all the pilots judged.

    We have heard from a lot of Advanced pilots about the judging on that line.  I would like some feed back from Masters and FAI on the prelims judges.  My very limited survey seems to indicated that those lines had very good judging.  I had a lot of 5s & 6s and some good scores but overall my scores, in my opinion, were spot on.  I'm only asking about the prelims.


  I had some weird scores on some flights. On the first round, my scores had a 94 point raw score spread (one judge was consistently high). The second round had only a 14.5 point spread (These judge hung together; the worst being an 8.0/6.0/7.0 on the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out). The third round had only a 28.5 point spread (this despite a 9.5/9.0/6.5 on the 1/2 Outside Loop w/ 2/4 Pt Roll Out). The fourth round had a zero spread (an elevator half came unhooked from the clevis and I landed before completing the first airborne maneuver)! The fifth round had a 63 point spread, including a 3.0/8.0/6.0 on the Vertical Square 8. The sixth round had only a 33.5 point spread, however, it included 6.0/9.0/8.0 on the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out, 6.5/8.0/8.5 Top Hat w/ 3/4 Roll Up, 1/4 Roll Dn and a 6.0/8.0/6.5 on the 1/2 Sq Loop w/ 1/2 Roll Out. 

  I can accept up to 1.5 point spread from three judges on a maneuver, but more than that means somebody screwed up.
