Guys - A lot of good ideas are being presented here. One thing the peer judging effort from the Tangerine showed is that different people use different standards to downgrade the same observed flaw. We should strive to remove both the "Nazi" & "Santa Clause" judging tendancies, as they are both a disservice. Hopefully the judges can stay within 2 points of each other per maneuver.

The better pilot or judge you become, the easier it is to see airplane attitudes and predict flaws. However, I hope no one is actually doing that. I might "see-everything" the pilot is doing and know it all too well, but as a judge, I need to simply examine the "result" and determine which criteria was violated and makes for a downgrades and the score.

We need to ensure we are focusing on the actual result and any downgrade. There is all kinds of examples, but we need to focus on the result and not down grade on "how" it happened. Also, I hope no one is just "going with first impression" or some other unquantifiable means of arriving at a score.
