Well, I can answer that. Anytime decisions are made, there
will be second
thoughts later. Rare indeed is the important
decision that leaves everyone
feeling satisfied.
Judging,
refereeing, sitting on a jury, etc., these are all tough jobs. You
can never be certain that the decision you have made is the best one.
But,
it is in the nature of the duty to MAKE a decision, and once
it is made,
that should be the end of it. People will gripe, but
they will get over it.
But, if the decision is subject to recision
or modification at a later
time, what then?
If an officiating
organization wants time to reflect, then the rules should
be modified
accordingly: "In cases where doubt arises at the time of
weighing
as to the integrity of a pumpkin, the organization reserves the
right to
take the matter to a vote of the governing members. Interested
parties shall have the right to submit a one-page written statement in
support of their position. All submissions must be received within
24 hours
of weighing. The decision of the governing body shall be
rendered within 48
hours of the wieghing, and shall be deemed to be
final." Or, something like
that.
Patience
No....absolutely NOT. No lawyers in this hobby.
NO WAY....GO AWAY. We will do fine all by
ourselves..............................G
