yes! 
 
All I can hope for is to please my hardest critic and judge (myself)
because he truly knows what's being done in the air...That's why I very
rarely look at the score sheets and standings they are always 4 or 5
points higher than I would give myself. It's like x-mas every contest. 
 
The ? mark was referring to the fact that I don't have a solution,
Judging is not ever 100% perfect(human factor) it is what it is accept
it or pull your hair out over it.
 
 
Having judged FAI on rare occasions, I can say it's not very enjoyable
because the pressure I put on myself to try to be fair and consistent is
considerable. just to many elements for my feeble brain to process...

I don't know, Jim started it and I just want to see where it goes. Did
you read his email below?

	 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.
