I think that may the best answer that can be given for taste. The only way to get everyone trained on what is a 9,8,7 etc would be to have some giant machine prepare the samples, ship them to CBJ classes and then give electric shock treatment to any judge that did not get it correct.
I think the second best that can be done is try to educate new judges as quickly as possible at the judging table and it seems to me that immediate feedback to all judges as to how you are comparing to fellow judges and then have discussion about. Show us the score cards before they are turned into the reps. Give us print outs of how our table scored and where I was in the mix.
That would go far in my opinion for both the high scorers and the low scores. keith
