  • [quote=Wolf] Bringing judges from abroad doesn't mean a damn thing, as it is obvious to everyone familiar with how such things work that judges are human and they do enjoy the special treatments they receive as guests, as do the hosts benefit from everything that goes with their hospitality. I mean, how gullible do some people think everyone is? It is a well-known FACT that most judges around the world, especially in eastern Europe have a long tradition of being known as easily bribed and playing favours as it suits them. [/quote] Insistence on this position when the FACTS are different. Russian judges have judged CO in the US very very strictly. Documented, videotaped, that's how it has gone. STRICT JUDGING. The information upon which you base your posts is wrong. The possibilities you raise are just that: possibilities. The path that the breed is actually on is one of strict evaluation and critique. You might consider changing your focus to encourage stategies to continue the high level of judging we have already seen in the US.
