  I find the lack of confidence in the Judging Certification Program to be an insult to those who put forth so much effort into it.

  There are still a lot of Masters/FAI pilots who choose to not waste their time knowing the AMA rule book. And there are many pilots who are new to the Pattern Discipline that have read and continue to read the Rule book like the Bible!

  The class one flies is not a good indicator of their judging qualities.

    It is true that SOME Intermediate pilots are qualified to judge Advanced and are used if they are.  The event director's job is to discover who is qualified.  That's why we pay him the big $.  <VBG>

      Provided that the Intermediate pilots aren't qualified to judge Advanced, right?  And since there are 20 Intermediate pilots they can help out with judging Advanced as well - since everyone has to be certified.

        As a former Nats event director, I must point out that the Master class pilots are used to judge the Advanced AND F3A pilots, thus the problem with the number of Master class pilots.  If you use three judges on both Advanced lines, that's six judges each session.  Then, if there are four F3A lines, that's another twelve judges.  So, the first two sessions of Advanced and F3A requires 36 Master class judges.   Oh oh! we run out of Master class judges on the third day if we only have 40 Master class pilots and nobody volunteers to judge extra sessions.  That's why Dave Guerin's hair is turning gray/falling out.

          And for one year there will actually be enough judges to judge Masters - we've always struggled with not having enough F3A pilots to fill the Masters judging pool.

            It looks like we have 115 total registered pilots for the Nats this year (from the AMA website)...


             
            Intermediate - 20

            Advanced - 16

            Masters - 40

            FAI - 39


             
            Those are excellent #'s and I'm hoping that there will still be some late entries that will raise those numbers even more.
