[NSRCA-discussion] D3 FAI

[schroetere]

 Hey Jim,
I debated with myself to respond to you or the list. But, since you brought this up here, I'd like to hear some more from you and others as well.

I know that you are not alone in your frustration. We talked about this mid-season at length. I'm just not sure what can be done to "fix" judging differences. When it comes down to it, we are all human. Until we get some sort of camera hooked up to a computer, we will never have perfect judging. Even then, I'm sure someone will complain that the software algorithm that calculates the score isn't correct. All we as judges can do is sit down in the chair and do our best. Some times we get it right and some times we don't. It will never be better than that (my opinion).

I hate to see that you are feeling so beaten down that you feel a class switch is the only way to fix it. I have no doubt that you will have great success in Masters if that is what you choose. To me, all the guys flying FAI in our district should be there. You are all fantastic pilots.

So, what needs to be fixed in your opinion and how should this be done? 

Thanks, Emory

  It is my opinion that abject failure to score FAI rounds and standings accurately has been consistently occurring in District 3, punctuated by the final two contests of 2007 (JAX and D3 Champs).  Recognizing these inequities in FAI, I look forward to joining the Masters class for the 2008 season beginning with the Tangerine.  



  Copied from www.dictionary.com   Abject: 

  -adjective 

        1.
       utterly hopeless, miserable, humiliating, or wretched: abject poverty. 
       



        2.
       contemptible; despicable; base-spirited: an abject coward. 
       



        3.
       shamelessly servile; slavish. 
       



        4.
       Obsolete. cast aside. 
       

  Thank You,

  Jim W.
