ADDING MORE INCOMPETENT GUYS WON’T MAKE RESULTS SMARTER
“Of course we need to fix the judging criteria but do you think having 5 judges would help? 3 ringside and 2 watching on TV. @kennyflorian” -Cub Swanson
“@CubSwanson all judges should have access to monitors as they judge. Not sure having more judges helps but it’s worth a trial.” -Kenny Florian, I think it’s more important to simply educate and train them, along with adding penalties for indefensible scorecards.
