[NSRCA-discussion] Judgeing by commitee?

[C. Smith]

Jim,
 
 I just got home, Sat down to eat my dinner & read the emails...  
 
 When you read this to me this afternoon it did not make the impression it
did when I read it.....
 
  I am not trying to blow smoke up your skirt please believe me...
 
 It is refreshing to see someone say things honestly & in such a way.... Too
few say what needs to be said.....
 
 
 
 Jason's response  came across as self serving damage control..  I do not
think he comes across as a sincere person.  As a matter of fact he seems
very insecure......
 
 He came back at you by saying 3 of the 4 believe it WILL work.. But I could
have sworn you showed me emails from Ryan disagreeing with the practice.....
I would bet you Joe & Ryan in public would agree with Jason just to
associate them selves with him.. I call this by many names....Weak,
Intellectually Dishonest & self serving..   
 
 Oh well I just want you to know Good job--   Nice to see someone with a
set.

Hey Anthony,

**** Attempting a 50 words or less approach without too much regard for
political correctness *****

I don't think peer judging works.  I don't think it sends the right message
about problem solving or achieving a more accurate score per maneuver for
each pilot.   Psychology 101 would predict that it does not foster the right
mindset or circumstances for a competitive environment (Reality TV shows
like Survivor are based on one form or another of peer judging).  

The #1 component that must be correct for it to work is that all
pilot/judges see and subtract about the exact same number of points per
maneuver see the same downgrades.  The situation doesn't compute if one
judge is off from the others or uses impression judging.  A bunch of stuff
should probably be in place for this to work like:  large number of judges,
drop high score, drop low score, etc.  The highest caliber of honor,
integrity, and judge-education is required by all competitors to make this
work.  

I witnessed this as a Masters pilot watching the FAI contest.  I watched the
flying and this scenario VERY close. My opinion is that I would chose not to
compete in FAI in a peer judging scenario.  

Thanks,

Jim W.

Finally got a chance to read the current K-factor and saw a note on the
Tangerine contest. The article mentioned FAI was judged by a commity of the
FAI pilots. Could someone please provide details. Do you think you could
keep your objectivity? For those that were there how did it work out? Sound
interesting because you would finally be judged by pilots who know the FAI
rules and the sequence.
 Could this be a solution for the oversized Masters class? Obvious drawbacks
too, but trying to inspire some thought.
 
Anthony
