BdesB A Final point
posted: 2008-03-19

The enquirer wouldn't be the enquirer without one of my famous rants. This week I'm going to complain about the judging at the bdesb. Generally not the most competitive person I do get miffed when various decisions are made that are opposite to common sense. At the beginning of the race we were told how each run would be scored with the emphasis being on style (2 points) rather than overall speed (1 point) Air (1 point). Yet when one of our racers finished a close second, with better style and equal air and not awarded the win you can understand the feeling of being robbed. Had this decision been different we would have beaten Meribel and although we would have still finished last in our group due to the points difference against Zermatt we would have had the satisfaction of beating our 3 valley neighbours.
