Judge b did you as well 6 for accuracy of final furrow other judge gave 13, what a joke how can it alter 7 marks from one end to the other, he did a job on billy purkiss as well should never be allowed to judge a national again, talk about match fixing.
Where did Billy Purkiss finish up I only know the top three. I thought around 7th. First day he was a very lucky man definitely some shoddy judging that day

Finished 5th on day 2 ground conditions were very difficult on Saturday, bit of a lottery who went through, technically very good in all aspects, and always straight went better on Sunday, not bad for a 23 year old

Was expecting a bit more from him this year after he did so well at Taunton. Thought his father did well on Saturday. How did plot 4 get through?

May be not quite such a difference, but the front furrow falls away about halfway down, and one end is straight, the other is anything but.
Does the reversable not have at least four judges, if they do, then one mans input would have minimal effect in any attempt to fix anything.
Was the only straight and clean finish there

Sorry, its not straight, or wouldnt be in conventional, in photo two, it veers to the right on shot (left on the work)on the out, dropping the front furrow even further, in photo one its just slightly "wavery", drifting right after a few yards.

Would of thought man with John Edwards and number 11 were in front of Billy Purkiss
Problem was only one of the four judges has ploughed reversible, and i don't think that was on the butt system so did any of them have a clue.
