[NSRCA-discussion] Defensive Judging (clipped)

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Keith, Lance, it is the matter of the weasel....

A judge should be confident in his ability and proud of his work. In fact, 
just as confident and proud in judging as he is in his flying. Confidence comes 
from being a student of the rules and leads to justification for the scores he 
assesses...he must be able to defend them. The confident judge has no problem 
at all initialing or signing the score sheet. 

The weasel might...

No Lance, the point is that our system already has the ability to identify
judges.

The halo factor and judging accuracy/competence is a different topic.

If there is any action item related to our discussion it would be that local
CD's should enforce what's already supposed to happen, which is judges
should always write down either their initials or judge number on score
sheets. However, at local contests even when judges don't write their
initials down it's normally pretty easy to figure out.
