	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...

		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.
