I never could see what people called eye sign. I even talked to Paul Bradford about his article. I finally gave up and decided the bird should have two eyes , one on each side of it's head. I do see what you are talking about. A roller should have an intelligent look. The most important eyes are the loft owners.- James Turner
We hear this often, if the judge judges everyone the same the best kit will win. This simply is not true.
If a judge is too tight several breaks/kits will get little or no score at all which outside of the rules. The judge is to score good clean roll which is 10' or more and finishes cleanly. Requiring them to roll deeper or with only a certain style or speed is being biased toward one's preferences.
Conversely, a judge who is very loose can be a even greater detriment than the aforementioned. Loose judges are not loose judges on purpose, they simply are those who cannot differentiate properly between actual scoreable roll from mere activity.
We can come up with all the rules and guidelines we want. Roller judging will always be a subjective endeavor because it is one man's opinion and those who judge do not all have the same eyesight capabilities.
