With less than 15% of drivers per given day offering to judge, it is not really attainable.

You can try to help out by volunteering."thumbsup"

Nothing has happened to this rule. As with any rules or laws there is one key word being "should". Should is a strongly suggestive word not a mandatory word such as "shall" or "must".

Though im sure in the next rules revision that the wording of this guideline will be edited. As over the past year + there has been a substantial effort put forth (by many) to educate our judges to a higher level. This is being accomplished at every comp, gathering ect. Via the judges test/demonstrations ect.

This new format has been tested at several comps already this year with very positive results. With the heat and amount of competitors at Nationals this year, we are going to use this format to help reduce judge fatigue due to the high temps. in Vegas. Reducing judge fatigue will help toi deliver a much more consistent judging platform. It will also increase the enjoyment of the competitors as the lines move a much accelerated pace, drastically reducing the weight times to run courses."thumbsup"

Do you have any interest in judging "assistants"? I'm not experienced enough to be a judge, but I can help out.

If you really want to be a judge and want to learn follow a judge at a event. You will learn a lot and most will teach along the way.

If it's ok with the "powers that be" (superdave, I'm looking at you "thumbsup") I'd be fine with having you hang around while I'm judging. you'd learn a lot by observing.

Well then what the hell is Badger gonna do? Every time you're around he tries to learn "by observing"







:flipoff:

Thanks guys, but that wasn't the objective. I've started "beginning judging" at the SoCal events. Just not near enough to be a national judge. I was just trying to help out if they're undermanned. I was kinda picking up on you'd like to have two judges but only have manpower for one.

O ok, no watching then. If I catch you watching.... you better watch out...

...wait... what?




Honestly, i'll probably be so damn hungover/still wasted that i'll need help judging...


Just kidding john! Don't judge dis-bar me!

The judging format that we are running, wont really lend well to extras on the course with 2 judges and 2 drivers already, starts to get crowded! I would encourage all that want to help to start by furthering there education as a judge. take the judges test and learn the rules as they are written, not as you are told they should be enforced. I know when I started in the sport a few years ago I relied on others to tell me the rules, and I never had a true understanding of things till I dove headlong into the rules.

Youre getting close! Better watch it:mrgreen:

Super Dave, don't forget I'll be all over the courses as well. I'll be "observing" through a lens.

Jess as long as you don't throw anything you should be fine:oops: oh and make sure you puke off course:lmao:

I will be shooting for the judges meeting we'd and thurs for 8 pm. All should hopefully be able to make it by then. Location will be at the event hotel, with exact meeting location TBD. As soon as we nail it down I will post it here

We have made it and the Wednesday night judges meeting will be held in one of our rooms at the hotel. Let's meet in the hotel registration lobby, from there we will move to a room.

For Thursdays meeting we will most likely be meeting at the bowling alley that they are having the nationals bowling tournament at. That judges meeting will be tenatively at 8 pm depending on the comp finish
