<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I don’t think peer judging
works. I don’t think it sends the right message about problem
solving or achieving a more accurate score per maneuver for each pilot. Psychology
101 would predict that it does not foster the right mindset or circumstances
for a competitive environment (Reality TV shows like Survivor are based on one
form or another of peer judging). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The #1 component that must be correct for
it to work is that all pilot/judges see and subtract about the exact same
number of points per maneuver see the same downgrades. The situation
doesn’t compute if one judge is off from the others or uses impression
judging. A bunch of stuff should probably be in place for this to work
like: large number of judges, drop high score, drop low score, etc.
The highest caliber of honor, integrity, and judge-education is required by all
competitors to make this work. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the FAI contest. I watched the flying and this scenario VERY close. My
opinion is that I would chose not to compete in FAI in a peer judging scenario.

current K-factor and saw a note on the Tangerine contest. The article mentioned
FAI was judged by a commity of the FAI pilots. Could someone please provide
details. Do you think you could keep your objectivity? For those that were
there how did it work out? Sound interesting because you would finally be
judged by pilots who know the FAI rules and the sequence.<br>
Could this be a solution for the oversized Masters class? Obvious
drawbacks too, but trying to inspire some thought.<br>
