Do you remeber how flying had to stop to fix the unreal scores you were giving to pilots you did not care for?..Remember Kris i scribed for you and i saw all this with my own 2 eyes.....I am not trying to start a fight with you just a solid reminder that you my friend are not infalable yourself.
I would think that a proper course of action would be to educate some of these people and not waste the time or effort to whine about it.
Kris you seem to have a way of starting BS on these online chats that is why you have been banned from RCU Twice so now the crying comes to the giants.
It happens at all IMAC events i myself have been on the end of bad judging but never have i gotten so upset as to come on a internet flying site and whine about it I think if you are quilified to hold a judging school which i personaly do not think you are then you should take anna's advice and do it and use your time in a more productive manner..Bottomline is if IMAC is so bad stop flying it and move on or learn to deal with it Mr Perfect...
Sorry for the pissed off nature of this post but Kris needs to learn how to use the net for more productive things then to cry about the same things he has been guilty of | |

If you are sorry for your "pissed off" nature of your reply, then delete it Xipp. . . it's out of place here. Holding me up for character assissination is not addressing the problems I put forth. Calling into question my willingness to Zero manuvers for "Named" pliots, because the other judges could not see through the "Halo effect", even under intense pressure not to do so, shows where you want to go with this.
Biff is much closer to the mark than you could ever hope to be with your statement, Xipp. At least I have the guts to bring it way out into the open, and wake people up to it. Perhaps, now, it will get solved, or at least improved.
As I have said elsewhere on this "open letter" (in other places) . ..what bothers me most about the inconsistency of judging, is that I have NO clear idea of how well I am actually flying, from another qualified persons point of view. I can receive high scores, but when I received them I KNOW I didn't fly that well, so why give me such scores, and why weren't the Judges watching and seeing the deviations I saw myself? In contrast, manuvers I know I flew well, got downgraded, and the same held true for the other guy in my class, who was also calling for me and said the same thing concerning both my scores, and his own.
When you have two pilots, facing off over a silly piece of wood, but who are both honest about how the flights and sequences are going, and how they messed up certain manuvers and nailed others, and BOTH agree 100% of the time, and then the judges say differently. . .you don't just shrug your shoulders, chock it all up to Fate and Luck, and just wander about smartly, or grin and grab your plaque and hug it ..
You step up, take the hits from the detractors, and set forth things in motion to rectify the situation so that future pilots will have it better, and so that you yourself will have confidence that the guys sitting in the chair actually have their game on, and that you can trust their scoring for EVERYONE.
BTW. . David and I agreed . .the LAST pair of judges we had gave us a decent scoring job. . . they hit me with a Zero for my goofed Goldfish (the score sheets show crossed out 7's. . . darn . . .they got me), and for a spin entry I KNEW was good (okay . .that made me mad), but at the same time, David and I split the round, because he goofed up some stuff as well. We both agreed that it was the only decent judging we'd had all day. I can handle the questionable call on the spin entry. . . barely .. It was fair, and a judgement call. . David and I are both sure that we received decent-good judging that round.
So, there are good judges out there. Just not enough of them.
