w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Del</st1:place></st1:State> on this one.
&nbsp;Dropping scores in this manner just isn&#8217;t statistically valuable.
&nbsp;You almost always just throw out an entire judge. &nbsp;<br>
<br>
I think those that favor this approach do so because of the stray
&#8220;0&#8221; that they&#8217;ve received sometime in their pattern career,
and see dropping highs (no one REALLY wants to throw out their high scores) and
lows as a way to get rid of the Zero awarded by the local Snap Nazi.
&nbsp;It&#8217;s just the wrong approach.<br>
<br>
Maybe with 30 judges it would have some relevance, but not with 5 or even 10.
&nbsp;AND...more often than not, I&#8217;ve been MUCH more annoyed at the judge
who MISSED a zero, than one that maybe awarded one unjustifiably. &nbsp;<br>
<br>
I&#8217;d rather go the route of having a &#8220;Zero&#8221; judge, who&#8217;s
sole job is to determine that the correct maneuver was flown and that a Snap
was a snap and a spin a spin. &nbsp;The other judges simply judge what was
flown... &nbsp;&nbsp;If a maneuver was missed or out of sequence, the zero
judge overrides those scores. &nbsp;&nbsp;Ok...there&#8217;s issues with that
too (missing a point on a point roll for example would be an issue)...just
thinking as I type.<br>
<br>
Anyhow...dropping highs and lows isn&#8217;t the solution. (IMHO)<br>

&nbsp;<br>
To punish a judge that does a better job is always going to be the wrong
approach. I have repeatedly seen where the judge giving the lower score as
being the problem. I can't ever recall personally seeing Santa clausing while
at a contest. If judging is a bad as some seem to think they why not have
judges certified yearly for all contests. At least then you will be using
people that have proven they knew the rules when they took their certification.

<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'>&gt; For as long as I've been
competing there has always been the problem of judging being uninformed,
inaccurate, etc. Not pointing fingers, it just is what it is whenever you have
volunteer judging.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Personally I think the efforts made by Jason and the Tangerine people
should be applauded, REGARDLESS of whether or not the outcome is deemed valid.
The fact is they tried something new to solve a problem. If it works, cool. If
not, that's ok too. It just eliminates another incorrect choice at solving the
problem. This sort of outside-the-box thinking should be encouraged. <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Having sat through MANY competitions where every one of my peers sees
errors that few, if any judges on the line catch (a certain TOC pilot's wrong
direction snap that only Peter Wessels caught comes to mind), I think the idea
of peer judging has a great deal of merit, even if only as a case study
comparison to standard judging methods. Who better to know what to look for in
a flight than the people flying it? So long as there is a certain amount of
normalization (such as dropping high &amp; low scores) to reduce bias, I
honestly can't think of a reason not to try it. <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; To a person, I trust everyone I know at this level of competition to judge
accurately and fairly, regardless of them being my competitor or not.<br>

&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He came back at you by
saying 3 of the 4 believe it WILL work.. But I could have sworn you showed me
emails from Ryan disagreeing with the practice..... I would bet you Joe &amp;

Judgeing by commitee?<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hey Anthony,<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**** Attempting a 50 words or less
approach without too much regard for political correctness *****<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't think peer judging works.
&nbsp;I don't think it sends the right message about problem solving or
achieving a more accurate score per maneuver for each pilot.
&nbsp;&nbsp;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). &nbsp;<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. &nbsp;The
situation doesn't compute if one judge is off from the others or uses
impression judging. &nbsp;A bunch of stuff should probably be in place for this
to work like: &nbsp;large number of judges, drop high score, drop low score,
etc. &nbsp;The highest caliber of honor, integrity, and judge-education is
required by all competitors to make this work. &nbsp;<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I witnessed this as a Masters
pilot watching the FAI contest. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks,<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jim W.<br>

commitee?<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Finally got a chance to read the
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>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Could this be a solution for
the oversized Masters class? Obvious drawbacks too, but trying to inspire some
thought.<br>
