E-TOC Agree with the Judges

Just came back from the Friday E-TOC and not sure I agree with the Judges decisions. Anyone else agree with final outcome?

I think that the top 5 from what I have seen are the top 5. We can always argue who should,could,would have won... I think that all 5 are capable. I think I would have picked another person to WIN.... but... Thats me, 1,000 miles from it. When you are there, and you can feel that pilotos' energy, and see them fly, see their expressions, see their faces, see whats really going on with man and plane....it must be different. I think with EToc being as big as a show that it is...WE have to respect their decisions on the winner, and keep the prestigious EToc alive. So, yes, I agree because a Panel of Judges that were there agreed to the fact that Noll won and thats the deal in my book.

Very well put mate. As I put in another post regarding this. I dont judge events, I dont tend to get too involved in that side of it. Thus I rather prefer to give the honour of the decision the guys who are sitting on the front bench and not those like me who rest in the armchair playing the couch potatoe judge.

Its a hard event to judge, it not done by a commitee as such. And when all said and done it comes down to the flavour of the moment. The judges deserve a big high five for having the intestines to do the job. They came up with a result, its final.

Lets look forward to how we can make 2007 an even better event.

I was there, and let me tell you, the top 5 were close.
In person it was almost impossible to form a decision.
The difference in flights and styles... I don't even know how the judges do it.

One thing for sure, I feel like selling my stuff, all the guys have unreal talent, and make things look easy that I can't even pretend to be able to do!!
