[NSRCA-discussion] rookie judge

[Anthony Romano]

The best thing for all of us is get in the chair as much as you can at any 
and all local events. This year I plan on bringing score sheets to practice 
sessions and have my caller judge for a more permanent record than 
"Yuuucckk" yelled in my ear. Could be good practice for both of us. Also, 
have a copy of the current rule book that lives in my van. Make sure you can 
deliver the level of judging you expect as a pilot.

Anthony
