MK14 Show and Shine Judges nomination/volunteer thread

[Jaan]

Just an idea...........

as judging often causes controversy ... why not have a tent / area for each category . hang a number on each bike 1 - what ever. have a voting box in each tent/area. each radster gets 1 vote in each tent. that way the people chose the winner . no one can argue the toss then . like i say just an idea. 

We did that a few years ago, we had a radsters vote for bike of the show and somebody stole a load of the voting slips and used them to rig the vote.

What a c*nt!!!

What?

[southern andy]

Ok, i've been thinking about this and i'm not too keen on being a judge now. I feel there are better people than me for this job.

[GRAB ON KID]

Thanks for the votes guys,it's really appreciated but I only made it to MK12 for a few hours & pissed that i missed it last year so wanna experience the whole weekend vibe.Also hopefully I'll be having a go at racing if i can get a ride together.I'll defo think about it for next year though if needed or voted for.

Cheers,Mike

Allegedly 

What?

That's better

Spen69 gets my vote for OS stuff, along with Steve Animal

Guys, although I agree a lot of names listed would be great judges, its no good just putting up names for votes.

If you think someone would be good, ask them first and if they agree then put them up in here.

Otherwise its pointless

Rob, I know what you're saying about consulting people, but at the same time, I'm sure the people that are getting mentioned in this thread are reading this and are really appreciating the thought that people consider them worthy enough.

It's also jogging people to second the nomination too.

They can always say no, or luckily yes as in Brett's case.

do some people really get arsey when they don't win? never been to mk but if i would like to be a judge, jury and executioner there. you should have a deadline of 10 minutes to judge a category and pick a winner, that way the judges would have time to enjoy the rest of the weekend and get pished. 

[QUADROPHENIA]

Someone entered a bike with no chain or seat and got the proper ass as they didn't win

[Bru]

do some people really get arsey when they don't win?

Hell yes!! Bit sad really that IMO

I'd feel honoured to judge mid school. As someone who still breaths the ethos of midschool

That's the attitude needed to be a judge 

[HARORIDER]

I personally think the best way was like a few years back when people jotted down what they think should win for what category on a slip of paper then pop it in the box as some people then cannot lean towards their favourite make of bmx-just my opinion

As I put a couple of posts ago, that won't work because.......

oh ok mate fair point still does not stop people leaning towards their fav brand,bike or mates bike though does it  give the slips out maybe say 1 for each cat = say 7 cats=7 slips per person-if people are going to "cheat" they will always find a way around it I suppose 

[Waxintaxin]

the logistics of giving out forms to people , counting making sure people do not cheat etc is way more work than people realise , and as we all want to enjoy the day will mean it is not an option to allow voting etc.

Great in principal , nightmare in reality

as we can see with the lack of acceptance not many people want to take it on. So to all those who have complained about the judging in the past, accused us of cheating and being disonhest please step up and put your time where your very large and annoying mouth is! if not , shut the fook up.
 

[fischflo]

so now it's only MS: midschooljon and Philbert......? FS: brettypeeps and....? OS race: ....?

Looks like at least 3 more honourable judges needed for the main cats   (if 2 - 3 per category as Ash suggested)   ...or one or two more (according to Stidd's 3-5 "judges to judge everything" idea).

...and i support the Phil Sawza draft ....and Olé Esteban aka Animal   and suggest bodamus for FS

[Dannywhac]

I can help out for Mid School if we need three a cat 

[GRAB ON KID]

Just a few questions,how long would the judging take for one category like OS race & would it be possible to race & judge on the sunday or is it a choice of one or the other?

Also what is the full list of categories?
Cheers,Mike 

[pickle]

I don't think you'd be able to give both the time they need

[kungfunky]

Mike I think the categories are something like

Vintage
OS Race
OS Freestyle
OS Cruiser
OS Street
MS Race
MS Freestyle
New School

Could be others but from memory it's something like that.
