<DIV><FONT size=2>At the contest this weekend (GREAT JOB , North Dallas
RC, and Gene Maurice!!), I **NEEDED** a scribe when judging....there wasn't
one....then I hollered a little louder, and one was found....Then, because I
didn't know the scribe, I did exactly as Lance outlined, and tried NOT to miss
any stuff, but I'm certain I did.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> At the local contests, using contestant
judging, and wearing everyone out calling, carrying, and judging, ADDING more
judges doesn't seem a workable idea....particularly if we can't even field
SCRIBES !!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> There MUST be someway reasonably-priced to
'electrify' this process using some technology....</FONT></DIV>

face=sans-serif size=2>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.

thought, preparation, and practice to keep your eyes on the plane regardless
of scribes.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>---Lance</FONT>
