Pete,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
is the kind of thing we need to do.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
video tape provides an excellent outline and course syllabus. It's available
from NSRCA. I like to interrupt the tape and discuss each chapter before
moving on, but suit yourself.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>There
is a fair bit that is either missing or lacking from the tape. That's not a
criticism of it, because what I am about to describe is outside of the video's
mission.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
need to add discussions of the following:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>1) Re-enforce the fact that we use the subtractive
method. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>2)
Talk about the mechanics of how to add up the downgrades and not run out of
time.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Judges are terribly
hurried, and the ability to be analytical, <STRONG>fast</STRONG> is probably the
single greatest contribution to good judging.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Let's
face it, if all we wanted is for people to watch the tape and read the
Judges' Guide, they could do it easier at home!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>3)</FONT> <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Talk about the
mechanics of getting a score into either the scribe's head, or onto a piece of
paper. There are a varietey of methods, and some work for some people and don't
for others. The new judge needs to experiment while
praticing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>4)
Convince the new judges that practice is absolutely necessary. Talk about
practice strategies.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=291594815-01112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Oh yes
...It will really help to draft an experienced judge or two to be your "shills"
in the crowd. They'll knowingly ask the dumb questions that genuine newbies are
too embarrassed to ask. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
