Whilst I'm all in favour generally of people having a go at Rocky, and whilst it causes me near-physical pain to defend him, he's been a damnsight more informative on this thread than you have.
All you've done is diss Ceroc and big up independents, without actually providing any, you know, information. You've then claimed lack of interest as a rationale for this complete vagueness.
Clearly, based on information from the Davids, there is no "magic system" which can be used - each one has pros and cons.
So to claim that Ceroc are deliberately using a "inferior" system (to, in your words, "know" this), then to fail to back this "knowledge" up, just makes your posts look non-authoritative.
I believe that all the major MJ competitions are run as honestly as possible.
I also believe that all the judges are as thorough and painstaking as they can possibly be, and that being a judge is a completely thankless task, because of the constant second-guessing that goes on after each competition.
And the transparency offered by people like DavidB - effectivley, free consultancy - goes way beyond what one might expect from a judge - it's almost worthwhile competing just for that.
It's interesting to compare the judging mechanisms, and the posts on this thread doing that have been very informative. But if you're going to diss Ceroc, then at least try to do it intelligently.
