Thanks mathman and gkelly for such excellent, detailed repiles. Both posts made me think and especially gkellys last remark:
"Which means that one individual is never in a position to declare that everyone else is wrong."
I am not sure if that is necessarily a good thing.
In football, a ref is sometimes proven wrong by use of replay. The NFL could get rid of replay and let the ref's r/t call stand. Or they could use a consensus opinion from all of the refs on the field to decide a questionable calls.
They don't do that and the use of replay technolgy has the sole purpose of getting the call right.
One offical reviews the play and makes the decison. It is not done by consensus yet the replay calls are IMO almost always (98%) correct.
Why isn't the use of replay by the tech panel which offers such an obvious advantage over a r/t impression being used with more weight?
It is nice the judges can all offer various subjective scores based on a r/t impression. Does it make sense for the TP to have a little more authority since they clearly have a better chance to assess the jumps more accurately?
Or maybe this is just to picky and the system is fine the way it is now. :think:
