<div>You have something there. I like it also. This concept has merit for all classes, not just F3A, and shouldn't be that hard to implement at local contests or Nats alike. </div>

<div>The ZERO judges are appointed using a similar rotation as say...pilot order, plus or minus 2 or 3. It would require the pilots to pay attention not only to their flight order but to their ZERO judge assignment so it would be just a little more difficult but not that tough to actually do</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>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>The more I think about this, the more I like it.</div>
