[NSRCA-discussion] FAI Judges for finals at the Nats

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

I had your #2 answer only Derek, otherwise I think it could work. I feel an Fai pilot is just as capable as any other pilot to judge his own class. Also an Fai pilot could be just as objective as and other judge. I only say this as Masters judges could also be a lesser judge for the competition if their team member is flying against a rival. Not saying it happens, but it could. I haven't attended a nats yet, so I don't know how the judging is. Just my opinion, I know you've been there many times Derek. I'm sure I don't have a clue. lol

  I can think of several reasons why not to use semi-final judges...

1. Who says that they are good judges? Just because one can fly a sequence
doesn't mean one is a good judge - seen this many times over.
2. Could be a conflict in certain cases - what happens if one semi-final
pilot feels they should have made the finals instead of some other pilots?
3. Can they truly be objective - all the time?

Happy Easter

Last night the great dinner discussion was why can't we use Semifinalists as
Finals judges during the Nats. I know this has come up before, but not sure
if it was ever discussed more, or what the outcome was. Why couldn't we use
semifinalist pilots as judges? What better pilots to know the F sequence
than those that have to fly it?

When you are all done with your Easter weekend, this should help bring in
the new week...lol.
