<DIV>A judge should be confident in his ability and proud of his work. In
fact, just as confident and proud in judging as he is in his flying.
Confidence comes from being a student of the rules and leads to justification
for the scores he assesses...he must be able to defend them. The confident
judge has no problem at all initialing or signing the score sheet. </DIV>
