<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>1. Do we truly have a
significant judging problem? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>2. If we do - is it a perceived
problem by a few or the majority?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>3. Where does the it mostly
occur? At local / regional or at the Nat's? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>4. After the problem/s are
identified and agreed upon what is the most practical and effective means of
addressing the problem/s . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> My initial belief
is that it may be occasional and with a 1 on 1 situation where 1 judge saw
things differently than what the pilot or caller thought. If it is a
repeatable problem with the same individual then we have a education or
enlightenment problem hopefully. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> If Bias or
personal favorites are occurring and it is a repeatable demonstration then it
would appear that either a new rule may need to be created to address it if the
current measure that are available are proven to be inadequate. </FONT></DIV>

It's interesting how a question (and answer) regarding the Tangerine peer
<BR>> judging morphed into: F at local contests, RCU Thread Poll,
killing <BR>> Masters, Expert Class, and Forced Advancement.<BR>>
<BR>> It shows just how perfectly one issue (... or all), affect the
whole <BR>> outcome and experience of everyone. We are not so big as to
risk affecting <BR>> the individual, but must make decisions for and on
behalf of the whole.<BR>> Jim<BR>> <BR>> -----Original
