[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who get upset about wins and losses in a sport with judges crack me up. [/quote]
The judging issues in these instances are all objective questions.  These issues could happen in any sport, for instance, was her foot in bounds or out of bounds and did she complete a full 360 degrees.  No one is challenging anything subjective.  It's no different than issues with refs that come up in the NFL or questions about stepping out of a lane in track.  [/quote]

Sure it is. Because it’s still a sport where people oick winners, unlike a football game or race or basketball or baseball game. It’s always based on opinions. Who cares. [/quote]

They don’t pick winners, they assign scores. And this is no different than a ruling for another sport that can turn a game. An ump can call a ball a 3rd strike and end an inning where otherwise the runner would have walked and could have been a winning run scored if the bases were loaded. Another ump can call a ball in or out in tennis, volleyball, football, etc and been wrong. Human errors happen.[/quote]
