What kind of improvements would you like to see at a contest?
What I'd like to see is a pipe dream... [&o]

I'd like to see improvements in our judging - good, consistent judging is needed without bias... since we've moved to a contest environment where we only (mostly) use contestant judging I've seen too many of the "payback" scores in play. Bias is still prevalent in our sport - I'd like to see our judges distance themselves from that bias and give fair scores.
