congratulations to all that competed, was a great event and was entertained from start to finish

 

[NVJAY775]

Still an awesome event with some good progression. I honestly didn't expect things to progress this far and it was friggin bitchin to watch.

 

[slamb33]

Rok, Lee and Kazu all killed it.

I would not want to be the one that had to call it.

 

[the WaTeRhAwK]

They're the judges and their scores are what determine the placing. Easy enough?

Exactly.

My point is (in regards to Harrison's statement..) it's irrelevant that the final scores of the riders is a result of "pure opinions"...lol

 

[deftons56]

I missed the last 6 riders in the comp, does anyone have the videos of todays finals posted anywhere?

It's not all titled but I do have to work Monday. Wait that is today now that it's after 1AM!
I have the Pro Qualifying vids which I will get to later. Then you can be the judge and work it out with the new scoring system. :smile:

If you understand what you said then you are the only one who understands you.

I thought the WF freestyle was finally 'awesome', it seemed to me that everybody stepped up thier game after seeing Rok's and Lee's on saturday, making Sundays the best I have seen in a long time! Thanks!

Likewise, sir, which is precisely why I asked you for clarification.

 

[swapmeet]

Jesus Christ...

Is it really an opinion? Judges are given a format to score from. They watch the routine, score, and thats how you get results.
And from what I gather, the judges are indstury veterans. People who's experience allows them the opportunity to 'judge' others. They wouldn't be picked as judges if they wern't qualified.

Boxing, MMA, American Idol, X-Factor, The ING Olympics.... what do they have in common? Judges, writing down scores... deciding a winner.

So take off with you're "Its fixed" and "Someone was on their knees"...



In other news, did anyone notice that DM got 10th, on a 900cc AM ski against 20+ pro compeditors? Thats fuggin legit....

 

[the WaTeRhAwK]

But swapmeet, according to Harrison, the scores those judges give the riders are merely results of the judges' "opinions"...lol So, i/e, that doesn't necessarily mean that those scores, which are the result of the judges' "opinions", actually dictate how well they actually did. :dunno:

I guess we'll have to wait for the "actual" results to surface from aliens, or god, or something, before we finally get the real results of the contest. :dunno:

 

[SuperJETT]

What is your point? Judges have opinions and that affects their scoring which gives the end result. Freestyle is not a measured event like a marathon or target shooting, it is judged so on that day with those judges, those are the results.

That's precisely my point.


I guess you missed this in post #377:

Everybody is forgetting that the judging is pure opinion.

 

[Big Kahuna]

What clarification. I think you are the only person who can understand your question.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Travis, there is not a format that applies points to given tricks. When I judged I counted tricks, looked at how well each trick was performed. And how well the routine looked. Pure opinion.

Understood. However, when you made this statement:

Everybody is forgetting that the judging is pure opinion.

in context to the previous comments, the reason I asked for clarification from you, was regarding what exact context you meant it to be. It appeared as though your meaning was that those judging results were of mere opinion, and when it came down to it, didn't really mean much at all, based on the fact that everybody has their own opinion.


I still don't see the relevancy of comparing the judges opinions to just anyone elses, based on the simple fact that everyone else' opinions don't really make a difference to the outcome of the final scores decided by the judges.

Seriously, is this guy Suzi's brother?
