The rankings are correct. Sometimes, the #1 ranked judge cannot make the trip so we move down the list in order until a judge that can attend, accepts. The accepting judge does not get paid to go nor (I believe) are his expenses covered. This is on their dime per se. I could be mistaken but Peter Vogel should be able to clarify that point.

I am not sure and probalby you can explain. Looks like the rankings and the actual USA judge we selected are not in tune. As I recall, you were ranked first at the F3P team selection. I could be wrong as usual. Probably this is the reason why Ron is asking the question.

NSRCA and AMA have considered them separate, and submitted them as such, but FAI to date does not, as explained in the Dec 2014 KFactor.

Not too bad for the first appearance of the US on the F3P international stage.
