yes I do know more about this stuff better than anyone else on the forum, and I'd be more than willing to spend hours and hours talking about it to anyone who will listen. I've talked to tons of people who really know nothing about the sport, but they are gracious enough to admit that they don't have enough knowledge to pass a judgement on it. Franscar bashed it without a shred of knowledge, making false assumptions and not even attempting to find out the facts beforehand. if you'd like to learn about the judging process, the history of the sport, the technical aspects of it, I would love to explain it. but if you're not even interested in educating yourself about it, then don't knock it.
