<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>I debated with
myself to respond to you or the list. But, since you brought this up here, I'd
like to hear some more from you and others as well.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>I know that you are
not alone in your frustration. We talked about this mid-season at length. I'm
just not sure what can be done to "fix" judging differences. When it comes down
to it, we are all human. Until we get some sort of camera hooked up to a
computer, we will never have perfect judging. Even then, I'm sure someone will
complain that the software algorithm that calculates the score isn't
correct. All we as judges can do is sit down in the chair and do our best. Some
times we get it right and some times we don't. It will never be better than that
(my opinion).</FONT></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>I hate to see that
you are feeling so beaten down that you feel a class switch is the only way to
fix it. I have no doubt that you will have great success in Masters if that is
what you choose. To me, all the guys flying FAI in our district should be there.
You are all fantastic pilots.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>So, what needs to be
fixed in your opinion and how should this be done? </FONT></FONT></P>

</FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Emory</FONT></FONT></P></FONT></DIV>

abject failure to score FAI rounds and standings accurately has been
consistently occurring in District 3, punctuated by the final two contests of
2007 (JAX and D3 Champs). Recognizing these inequities in FAI, I look
forward to joining the Masters class for the 2008 season beginning with the
Tangerine. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>
