<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll admit I've had my phone go off while judging
when I forgot to leave it in my flight box (I don't care what the experts say, I
don't think they're a good idea on the flight line due to interference), but I
didn't dare answer it... just silenced it and went about my job of
judging.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>"Behind the times" might be a good thing. I've heard of an instance, at a
major contest, where a pilot took off and shortly thereafter he heard a cell
phone ring. It belonged to one of the judges. The judge answered the phone,
and talked on the phone THE WHOLE FLIGHT while he was judging. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Would anyone be justified in having that judges scores thrown out for the
whole round? How can he maintain a consistent judging standard through the
whole round?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, this was IMAC, not pattern.</DIV>
