say in general that every year there are a few instances where the judge just
doesn't know the sequence and its obvious in the scores. Missing the
wrong manuver is an obvious issue but beyond that, a judge can't fully
appreciate the spacing, know the pinch points, etc without having flown the
sequence enough to appreciate its nuances. This might be a real problem
for the next FAI F but Masters and the P are flyable equally.</span></font><font

of judging is used by some FAI judges. Pure speculation (beware):
When a pilot begins disrupting a maneuver by 20 + degrees of error, the judging
standards are easily applied without too much difficulty. <O:P></O:P></span></font><font

being witnessed, some judges may confuse their roll from “applying-downgrades”,
to that of “determining a winner.” Determining winner is not what judges
do. Normalization does that. In the instance of intensely good
flying, the judges may be saying to themselves, “…. This maneuver is
teetering on an 8 or 9, but I just watched person X fly and I know person X is
better than person Y, so I need to score this an 8.” Of course, this is
not accountable to our judging standards of code of ethics.<O:P></O:P></span></font><font

pilots to speak to how they judge FAI. How do Masters pilots apply the 15
degree rule for instance??? I cannot really speak to what goes on in the
FAI judges mind, but would like to know so that I can meet their standard as a

clinics and training. In the last contest at central <ST1:STATE u1:st="on"><ST1:PLACE u1:st="on">Kansas</ST1:PLACE></ST1:STATE>,
one good friend and experience pilot suggested that we should have judging
clinics when we are waiting for the sun get out of the way. In our area,
we usually wait until 11:00 AM to start the contest. We know that pattern
flyers are usually early birds. We could have judging clinics between
9-10:30 AM both days. This is 3 hours of training in one weekend. I
know that this is not necessarily the case for other districts or
fields or when the contest is very well attended. I will say that
this clinics are very easy to implement when we have less than ~20 pilots
registered. However, if there are more than 20 pilots just loosing a
round to accommodate the judging clinic won't be a big problem.<O:P></O:P><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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).<O:P></O:P></span></font><font color=black><span
