I was at a show in Toronto where Shawn Ray made some very very valid points. He talked about the judging at the O and how he is doing his best to change the selection process of the judges. It seems to be the same judges judging with the same opinion year after year. So people like Ronnie seem to continue to win year after year even if he isn't the best up there...like the 2001 O.
IMO I think that all qualified judges should have there names put in a hat so to speak and then be drawn. Therefore some things will be changed up every year. If a judge name get pulled a couple of years in a row so be it..but at least there will be some new faces with new opinions.
What do you guys think about this??????
