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).

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.

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> <BR>Anthony<BR> <BR> <BR> <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>
