Performance Judging? Trial Balloon

[Adam Glatt]

I'm sure we all have evidence of some curious judging. On day 2, my 
first round raw scores ranged from 479 to 572, second round 495 to 595.

Chad Northeast had one 45up, 4pt roll, scoring a 9, 9, and 0. He checked 
the written scores, the judge didn't write 10.

It happens to the top guys, too. Quique and Dave L had even larger raw 
spreads in the prelims than myself.
