Judge What You See

A number of coaches have spoken with me and worried about the judging of our events.

Their concern is: Many athletes’ have been on the cusp of moving up to 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0. for a number of times but have been held back for a long time.

Another situation: An athlete had just moved up one level, because of a perfect performance, but on the next competition had a poor performance yet received the same score. It is all right to score below the level, if you felt they did not compare with the role model and range descriptions for that level on that day.

An important component of the CBTF Judge Certification process is the Practice Judging that a candidate is required to complete. The supervising judge in that practice judging experience plays a significant role in that process.

This CBTF Policy regarding Practice Judge Supervisors was adopted at the 2013 CBTF Fall Conference.
