<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have yet to be at a contest that Sportsman
pilots were given the opportunity to judge, however, I can surely see that
logic. Most Sportsman pilots, that I have met, are so new to the
Pattern world, they haven't the knowledge of proper form of the maneuvers in the
upper classes to judge them fairly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have to know what the maneuver is supposed to
look like to judge it properly. As for myself, I have completed about half
of a complete season as a Sportsman pilot in D4, and I plan to attend a judging
seminar next year so I can be of service if called upon.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nat,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think one should at least have attended a
judging seminar. I for one did not feel comfortable judging till I went
to a judging seminar. At that point do you have a good idea of
what constitutes the criterion for being able to judge a
given class? I think when you can keep up with each maneuver with
out any lapse in judgment to the next maneuver your capable of judging
that class. Heck... sportsman class can be a challenge when you have a
guy that flies a fast pattern. Be fair to yourself and don't be
ashamed if you missed a maneuver. That's what N/O (not observed) rule is
for. Use a scribe if you feel the flow goes to fast so you can
concentrate on the whole picture. As Master Don Ramsey taught me...
All maneuvers start with 10 and then get deductions from there. Don't
make the mistake like I did when I first started judging of watching the
whole maneuver then giving a score. Takes to much time to think about
it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Sulphur , La. contest was just completed
with six rounds flown. There were 23 fliers with 8 sportsman and 7
intermediate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The judge assignments were approached with the
following (mis) conceptions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Sportsman
no judging</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> Intermediate
Sports and Adv only</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This placed quite a burden on the upper class
judges.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would appreciate comments regarding criteria.
TIA</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
