That is bad, but a little coaching should cure that issue. On the whole the senior citizen group does a great job of scribing at the NATS. They are attentive and put a little care into what they are doing.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Low Score Groan


Let's see if I can do the short version.

At my first Nats and trying very hard to be a good judge on the Mastser's 
line. The Muncie Senior Citizen group had volunteered to be scribes. This 
was the first time I was using the scratch pad technique and having my 
scribe copy from my scratchpad to the official score sheet. All is well for 
the first few pilots. Everyone is working hard on putting up their best 
flights and all of site 3 is as quiet as church. Halfway through one 
sequence me scribe is struggling to read my far from perfect handwriting and 
loudly proclaims," Is that a zzeerrrooo?"
The groan could be heard all the way to site one.
