<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've noticed that even when scribes are there, judges look away. They look at the scribe and say the score. Sometimes they will glance at the scribes sheet to make sure they wrote the right number. At the nats we were asked to write the scores on a pad and let the scribe copy them. This allowed a cross check after the flight for accuracy. I observed judges looking down to write their score, not trusting themselves to keep the scores in a column without looking. </font>
