Judging<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>At the Don Lowe Masters, they had a rather large panel of judges. There
were actually two groups, one group judged the quality of the manuever flown.
The other, smaller group of judges were the "zero" judges. They only judged that
the correct manuever was flown, and awarded only 10 or 0. If the zero judges
awarded a zero, that would over-ride the quality judges. It would be nice if we
could do that at local meets.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now that I think of it, why not?? It has been mentioned before that the FAI
flyers could judge themselves, this would be a way for that to happen. Let the
FAI pilots be the zero judges. If anyone knows whether the correct maneuver was
flown, it would be them. Then the masters flyers that are judging FAI would only
have to judge the quality of the maneuver. You would not need all the FAI pilots
judge each round, just a couple would do. They could confer with each other
during the round to agree on a zero or not.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The more I think about this, the more I like it.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I feel the same way Jerry..
Having nailed someone for a top hat down upright, 2 spins for 3 turn, extra
half roll.. not doing next proper maneuver.etc.. etc.. Have zeroed 3
maneuvers in row before pilot gets back in proper sequence. We all know
the drill. But the judge that catches them who is also doing it right is
the one who is penalized.. Sure makes one want to man the judges chair doesn't
it.. If all your work and effort to do the job right is just going to be
thrown out because someone feels the judge who scored low is wrong is not
sending the right message to those who try to be honest and accountable
judges. What is promoted is the old play it safe and throw out a 7 or 8
and all are happy. Well except for the pilot who cares... <tic
