[NSRCA-discussion] World F3A contest

[Stuart Chale]

Each Worlds the scoring always always causes me "to raise an eyebrow"  I 
can't say surprises me because we have seen it before. For most flyers 
the scores seem lower than we would expect.  Lower than they would 
receive at the Nats never mind local contests.  Did Joseph really 
deserve 6's on a half loop turnaround.  Did he have 60 degrees of error 
or fly a half hexagon?  Are the Judges that much better than the rest of 
us that they are seeing the errors that we don't?   Or are they upping 
the bar with an unwritten rule ( 1 point / 5 degrees etc) .  Any 10's 
given out?
I know the top fliers are difficult to differentiate until the finals 
and unknowns and usually it works out that the best flyer wins, I just 
like to see the same criteria used at all contests.

Or maybe I am not as good a judge as I think :)
