[NSRCA-discussion] Judging

[J N Hiller]

I usually just call it when I fly it. I know, I shouldn't do that but I don'
t want a score I don't deserve.

How about the pilot confessing to their zeros after they land?  Hold them
accountable...

At the Don Lowe Masters, they had a rather large panel of judges. There were
actually two groups, one group judged the quality of the manuever flown. The
other, smaller group of judges were the "zero" judges. They only judged that
the correct manuever was flown, and awarded only 10 or 0. If the zero judges
awarded a zero, that would over-ride the quality judges. It would be nice if
we could do that at local meets.

Now that I think of it, why not?? It has been mentioned before that the FAI
flyers could judge themselves, this would be a way for that to happen. Let
the FAI pilots be the zero judges. If anyone knows whether the correct
maneuver was flown, it would be them. Then the masters flyers that are
judging FAI would only have to judge the quality of the maneuver. You would
not need all the FAI pilots judge each round, just a couple would do. They
could confer with each other during the round to agree on a zero or not.

The more I think about this, the more I like it.

I feel the same way Jerry..  Having nailed someone for a top hat down
upright, 2 spins for 3 turn, extra half roll..  not doing next proper
maneuver.etc.. etc.. Have zeroed 3 maneuvers in row before pilot gets back
in proper sequence.  We all know the drill.  But the judge that catches them
who is also doing it right is the one who is penalized.. Sure makes one want
to man the judges chair doesn't it..  If all your work and effort to do the
job right is just going to be thrown out because someone feels the judge who
scored low is wrong is not sending the right message to those who try to be
honest and accountable judges.  What is promoted is the old play it safe and
throw out a 7 or 8 and all are happy. Well except for the pilot who cares...
