Actually it is just simply "Judge" not THE Judge. Just as you are "KrisW" and not "THE KrisW". Although one does wonder about your old nom de plume of "Demigod"
Demigod: a being with partial or lesser divine status, such as a minor deity, the offspring of a god and a mortal, or a mortal raised to divine rank. • figurative a person who is greatly admired or feared.
Oh well, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
As far as my competition class. I fly Intermediate, although I am not clear what that has to do with the discussion about rules, contest procedures, etc.
What I can tell you that seems more germane to the discussion is that I have personally run 27 large scale aerobatic contests (40+ pilots), helped run several more, written a very large number of Known and Unknown sequences, chair the IMAC Rules and Standards Committee, been involved in the re-write of the 2007-2008 rules, worked on previous rules revisions, advised on sequence construction, authored IMAC Known Sequences (2005 Intermediate) and judged so many times that I have lost count. On top of that I have also tried to do a bit of flying here and there, and have always done reasonably well when holding the transmitter.
So Kris, I submit that while I may not fly in a class that you deem sufficient to allow my statements to be worthy of consideration, I am in fact qualified and experienced about the things which I speak.
