| this thread is great, it will help those that are considering wasting thier dough on this amateur competition, with uneven judging, to go have fun somewhere else.
who would want to be a part of this mess?? I mean , why get into this if you could be robbed , or padded, depending on who or what you know??
those that get padded might like it, they might have sponsors to please, those that get robbed, if they are privateers, might pack it in and just go fly. eh?
this is broke, fix it, or the bad rep will kill it, IMHO. | |

From these other posts, it seems you have ZERO experience with IMAC.... in that case... how can you judge something you have never done, have no experience with, and have no idea what you are talking about. It is people like you that keep people from trying things because you talk out of your ass. Do everyone a favor and stick to topics you know about, not what you THINK you know.
As for the rest of the posts. I agree that judging can very greatly between judges and people, this is going to happen in anything. I think the important thing is consistancy. One judge may think the manuever is a 6, and the other thinks its an 8, as long as they are applying the same thought processes and principles, they should be atleast on the same page. I agree that there is always room for improvement, but with the limited number of people willing to judge, and the limited number of education resources, change is going to be a long and hard process. How about instead of writing to the IMAC, being proactive and starting that change. Start a thread here in the IMAC section, perhaps a weekly article on different aspects of judging criteria. All titled in different threads like a reference guide. Im sure getting approval to use some of what Fred has put togethor to post on here wouldnt be hard either. Its like politics in this country, dont complain about it, get up and do something about it!
