Proposal 41: Selecting Judges [ Revision 3 ]
Committee: FreestyleSubmitted on 2015-03-25
Status: Passed on April 05, 2015
Background
At Unicon 17 there was an issue where a sponsored rider was judged by their sponsor. This is a conflict of interest and should not be allowed.
Proposal
5.9.1 Selecting Judges (Old)
A person should not judge an event if he or she is:
• A parent, child or sibling of a rider competing in the event.
• An individual or team coach, manager, trainer, colleague who is member of the same club specified in the registration form, colleague’s family etc. of a rider competing in the event.
• More than one judge from the same family judging the same event at the same time. If the judging pool is too limited by the above criteria, restrictions can be eliminated starting from the bottom of the list and working upward as necessary only until enough judges are available. If there are some candidates who have the same level of restrictions and judging score, their agreement about publishing the results need to be considered. The eliminations must be agreed upon by the Chief Judge and Artistic Director, or next-highest ranking artistic official if the Chief Judge and Artistic Director are the same person.
5.9.1 Selecting Judges (New)
A person should not judge an event if he or she is:
• A parent, child or sibling of a rider competing in the event.
• An individual or team coach, manager, trainer, colleague who is member of the same club specified in the registration form, colleague’s family etc. of a rider competing in the event.
• A sponsor, part of a sponsoring organization or connected to an organization sponsoring any riders in the group to be judged.
• More than one judge from the same family judging the same event at the same time. If the judging pool is too limited by the above criteria, restrictions can be eliminated starting from the bottom of the list and working upward as necessary only until enough judges are available. If there are some candidates who have the same level of restrictions and judging score, their agreement about publishing the results need to be considered. The eliminations must be agreed upon by the Chief Judge and Artistic Director, or next-highest ranking artistic official if the Chief Judge and Artistic Director are the same person.
