[NSRCA-discussion] unknowns

[Ron Van Putte]

I smile every time I think about this:  The F3A World Championships  
host gets a list of potential judges from which to pick.  The total  
list is  predominantly European judges.  Most F3A WCs end up with  
predominantly European judges. The preponderance of European judges  
dictates how judging will be done.   However, what if the list of  
judges for the 2111 F3A WC is mostly made up of a judge from the  
U.S., Canada, Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, China,  
Japan, Argentina, Venezuela, etc , such that it that it is NOT made  
up of predominantly European judges?  Who gets to pick the judges?   
As the host organization, the NSRCA does.
