[NSRCA-discussion] Zero Judges at WC's

[Derek Koopowitz]

Typically there are 20 judges at a WC.  During the finals, 5 judges are used to judge the left turnarounds, 5 different judges judge the right turnarounds, and the 10 remaining judges judge the center maneuvers.  It is a lot easier to judge unknowns when one has time to study the maneuver before judging it and can reflect on what one saw after it is complete – remember, a judge will have time to reflect on this because they aren’t judging every maneuver.  When only 10 judges are used (as in Argentina), all the judges will judge ALL maneuvers so there is a lot less time for judges to think about what they just saw (or will see) unless they really know the sequence well.

Obviously I don’t know squat about the whole process, but was just wondering-  if there’s a 10 judge panel, why can’t 2 of them be zero judges.  I understand if running 2 lines, 5 judges per line, there would need to be 4 more judges paid for.  But aren’t the final rounds flown on one line only with all 10 judges?  If so, why can’t 2 of them be zero judges?

The cost to add zero judges would be around 4 -6 grand each unless you pulled from contestants... which probably  wouldnt happen.

What would it take for FAI to require a minimum # of zero judges at future WC’s?  IE: at least two designated zero judges required for every semi’s and finals round.  With the increase in complexity of maneuvers in F and unknown sequences, sounds like the judging load may be exceeding what even the most experienced of judges can keep up with at a WC.  On top of increased judging load, add poor visibility, poor conditions, etc and the chance for error goes up even more.
