<div>Some have argued for TBL. I am against TBL for Pattern. I simply don't care to add some form of score adjustment, or error, based on how Judges score everyone. To me it is contrived and reduces Raw Judge Score relevance. </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">The reality is that "most" of the time, all of these methods will get it right. All of them how outliers that demonstrate their flaws. </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">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>

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>

<div style="WORD-WRAP: break-word" vlink="purple" link="blue" 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 color=black size=2 face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN></FONT>

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 color=black size=2 face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN></FONT></div>

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 style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN></FONT></div>

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>

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>
