It has been noted that judging in world competitions is different than in US contests. Don't know if it is just that they look for different things or something else, but it seems to be different.!
Agree! They do not see the model in many cases before flight , they do not looking for behavior of pilot , before, during the flight, and after. There some advantages and disadvantages in their point of , how the flight supposed to look like. There all so many similar things with American school of judging too. If you judge ? and your friend flying .... there you go. It is every where more or less around the world. I've heard many times here in US; - " It is How I see it! " Some times I wanted immediately ask question : "Can you able to see" ? Than, think for second and thinking myself : if I would be on the judge place ; would I be the different ? It is All ways has been subject of discussion. It is like Metric and Imperial. I would use forums community to study of interest of creating electronic judge . To help with judging question. It is mowing fast in our life. And we have Electronic software and hardware Engineers in our community. Only those people can help. I think Electronic judge can solve many problems, think about learning aspect of it ? Have light weight , sensor can be installed on the surface of model, as sticker. Will simplify contest to organize, imaging you we can have contest all most every week end , fast tabulations, you can se the numbers right after maneuver has been finished. I think it can increase interest of yang generation to what we do , since they so close around of electronic too. Skills judging : can be integrated in to the score tabulation too. For example: as average; from entire pilots vote for each model from 0-10. Or pilots meeting decide to have two judges for skills score to generate, for each model. for example clubs they using equipment like that on the contests can post individual scores in PAMPA. This obviously can effect to Team Trials and traveling of people around contests. of course there will be many issues on the way of that, but we may able to work around those. I think this dream could became as reality with community to help. I would concentrate on that and look for investment, rather than infinity of discussion around BOM, and Loosing interest of yang people to it , economic problems , time problems, etc.
