DeusExGreenMachina Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 We put down two numbers for every unit. It gets very stressful when there are dozens of units. There is limited time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how much coffee I've had and if people around me are being distracting. You're a judge. What do you think? I think that with all my training, with all my experience, that I am human and cannot see all, hear all, and am far from being omnipresent. I know that while I am looking in one direction, no matter how fast I scan, I will always miss something in the other direction that is going on simultaneously. While I am focused on evaluating this thing over here I am always missing that thing over there. I know that if I am on the field I am missing some great stuff globally, and if I am in the box I know I am missing some great stuff intricately. And every judge who is 'honest' with themselves will agree with all of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the integrity of the scores when the difference is .5 point from night to night when almost nothing is changed? I don't think it is fairly explained by saying that judges have different perspectives. If a caption has appropiate content and achievement, then the score should be relatively the same no matter who is judging.

It may have perfected the calls, but it deminished the excellence of the game. Part of what made tennis excellent was the way players reacted to, and overcame, subjective calls. That aspect was a very important part of the psychology of the sport and it made the depth of the players, along with their playing skill sets of overcoming obstacles, way more interesting.

I wish I could take your advice and become a judge myself, but I am a medical biller. I lack the educational background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
