reality is that "most" of the time, all of these methods will get it right.
All of them how outliers that demonstrate their flaws.

<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=black size=2
face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The
question becomes what flaws are more egregious and lead to bad outcomes.
Raw scoring, and normalizing to the perfect score are virtually the same
thing and will mathematically result in the same outcome. It does not
normalize the rounds to be equal in weight and allows for a "blowout" round to
offset multiple close rounds. There's a myriad of reasons we no longer
use raw scores. But even raw scores provided the right outcome "most" of
the time. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=black size=2
face=Arial><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Normalizing to the
highest score has been the accepted way of late. It has the significant
advantage of making each round equal in value. It suffers most notably
when one or several pilots miss a round ( for whatever reason). This
very very rarely changes the outcome of the 1st place winner, but can
significantly alter the lower standings. This is most noticed at
nationals when people are fighting for a position in the semi finals or
finals. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=black size=2
face=Arial><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Normalizing to the
average does the reverse. Still maintains equal value in each round but
Improves the accuracy of the middle outcomes at the expense of a possibly less
accurate 1st place outcome. This is appealing if your fighting for the
finals cutoff but I think most would agree that at the end of the day we're
trying to pick the winner. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

throwing away too much data is a very valid, albeit completely different
issue. That to me is less of a mathematical issue than a potentially
contentious discussion about the subjectivity of our discipline. The
argument to throw out highs and lows (I disagree with doing this) is based
fundamentally on the assumption that those scores are wrong. The 10 was
erroneous or the 0 was erroneous etc. In practice this only serves to
call into question the quality of the judge. It was meant to counter the
problem with regional "style" especially with regard to snaps and spins, where
a spurious Zero could ruin a round. We've done a LOT to reduce these
problems over the years and I think our overall judging is the best it's ever
been. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

slightly different in its intent. Only part of that is meant to address
equipment reliability. Many many many sports reward consistency and
still allow for a misstep. Athletic sports typically play series... Best
3of5, 4 of 7, etc. Subjective sport that don't do this (skating,
gymnastics, etc) also don't have you perform more than once. We
are a hybrid of the two. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

bgcolor="white">Hi Mike.. While I concede it has rarely happened in the past
but their have been repeated occurrences d/t possible judge overload, Miss
understanding of maneuver being flown etc. some have earned positive scores
when a zero was deserved. My gripe with the current system especially at the
NATS settings is when the lowest scoring judge is look at with suspicion
when they are they only one who catches a zero maneuver. On the surface of the
data it appears to be the bad judge. In actuality the other judges missed the
zero. Again Compromise. I accept it is never done intentionally by anyone but
when judges work harder than pilots it makes me question the system that is at
times rewarding the wrong apple. Now I'm fairly confident in the overall
scheme of average flying over the season the consistently best pilot is still
truly the one who wins most often. My issue is the lack of acknowledgment by
those that control the direction of P.A. at times are willing to throw out the
baby with the bath water. The drive to constantly make maneuvers more
complex to challenge the pilots is rarely evaluated to what it does to the
people that are required to become familiar with the constantly changing
schedule depending on which class they are to be called on to judge. Some have
had to judge 3 and in rare cases 4 other classes besides the one they are
flying in. That isn't ideal either. With everything being purely
voluntary and some have to leave part way through without judging skews the
load. In the past some would even show up late to register to attempt to avoid
judging at all. If judging has become that difficult then the community
should be taking a hard look at how fledgling pilots in the lower classes
handle and accept those challenges. While some can accept it quite
readily others are not so adept. Do we slam the door on their desire to
compete and attend more contests. I have never seen the community reverse
any of it major changes when it has hurt attendance. The priority is always
for the betterment of FAI pilots in the WORLDS. While those are admiral goals
of the organization my contention is if they want to encourage participation
they need to change some of their priorities a little. </SPAN></FONT><FONT

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Mike.. Over the years
many of the negative down sides have been repeatedly pointed out regarding
using the current system and while I truly concur with your opinion the ruling
part sees nothing wrong with throwing away some rounds which is against the
very attribute they contend to support. If the overall best average pilot
shows up each round and does their best then they would secure their place.
Belittling any judges work manning the chair by throwing away their work is
counter-productive to the hard work they put in with their calibrated
eyeballs. It is all about what is an acceptable compromise. In a perfect world
all judges would be focused and catch every zero but when the maneuvers are as
complex as they have become it is a daunting task for new pilots to master let
alone feel comfortable about advancing to the point they have to man the chair
to compete. The sport has become so complex one needs professional
caller and when you have maintaince issues to tend to while having to go man
the chair makes it less than desirable. Maybe that is why many are glad to
have the choice of throwing one of their flights away. </SPAN></FONT><FONT

cents, There is no perfect scoring system. The system used at
bakersfield regresses back to winning with a " BarnBurner score" on the last
flight of the contest and this suffers the dilemma of becoming the popularity
contest we used to deal with. Normalizing normally rewards the
consistently best pilot, however there are always exceptions and extreme
examples to the contrary. This holds true in all competitive events of
any type. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black size=2 face=Arial><SPAN

dropping the high and low score of each flight, dropping the worst flight at a

throwing away previous flights at major events, ie. eliminating the

I believe we should keep the high and low scores, the worst flights,

an interest in normalizing to the average score, rather than to the top score.
It minimizes some of the variance when a key flyer doesn't fly the round
either due to a problem or simply choosing not to fly after winning the first
4 rounds. Particularly in that last scenario, it makes the remaining
rounds much more valuable to the 2nd and 3rd place flyers. <BR><BR>Sent

don't like the dynamic of it. It's very clear when you have a highly
critical set of judges, everyone pretty much drops that round.
Normalization to best is definitely a superior way for people to see how
they are doing relative to the best pilot in the round for a particular set of
judges, regardless of how critical (or not) they happen to be. An
interesting experiment, but I wouldn't recommend it for future
contests.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
