[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 5592078, member: 4681"] Quite right David, now, how do we get the judges to use the same glasses. I see no point in using straightness as a separate discipline, something is either straight or not, and in any case it should come into consideration when viewing other disciplines, finish, start etc. Skill and tech levels have shot up here as well, so much so that judges who have not done at least one seminar, have no idea whatsoever as to what they should be looking for. As many ploughmen do know, and plough to the tech requirements, this results in really poor work being awarded prizes, and skilled men being left high and dry, and of course, angry. As you say, the day of the elderly local land owner being called in to judge is over, how we encourage societies to recognise this is however a problem, but until trained judges are a requirement, angst will grow, forums like this will find people at each others throats, none of which is doing any good at all. One thing that would help would be the affiliated societies undertaking to use Seminar educated judges at their matches at least for qualifiers, perhaps as one of a pair on each class. This would make those who have made the effort to attend instruction feel appreciated.Perhaps it would open the eyes of the co judge a little, and so spread the message. [/QUOTE]
