paf,
For the Pattern Nats, do the contestants also judge/scribe?

I'm pretty sure they do contestant judging. Every judge is certified, Masters pilots judge FAI, FAI pilots judge Masters.... They don't have to study unknows though
They also run qualification groups with TBL adjusted matrix to determine finalists.
Out of curiosity, I did some scores analysis from our local contest (with 2 judges per round) in the past.
60% of the time, taking only scores from combined Judges #1 would result in different final standings than combined Judges #2....
