<p class="MsoNormal">I don't agree. Valid complaints are just that. I was the U.S. judge in 1995 at Kasaoka and many of the judges verbally told the scribes what their scores were. I could could hear them and could not believe some of the scores I heard.
It was like we were judging a different flight. There appeared to be an agenda that I was not privy to. The Prelims were bad enough, but scoring went off the chart BAD in the finals.<o:p></o:p></p>
