<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe the pad is the best answer. Two
years ago at the NATS finals Somenzini's scores were lost in transport
to scoring. Two judges were asked to refile and only the scratch pads
saved the day. I always put the contestant name or number at the
top of a column and record the scores vertically. If there is a scribe there
is no need for questions about anything until the round is finished. I
check the scribe or transcribe the scores after the final maneuver. Of
course, this may not allow me to view the entire landing sequence.

well is using a pad to write down the scores and hopefully the scribe

scribe that is used to my system scores flow. When I have a warm body

is in some cases especially while judging FAI.<?/smaller></B><BR><B><?smaller> Keep the thoughts
