[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of our S&T judges are pretty crummy.  I was timing the other day and saw a kid on a back-to-breast transition in an IM turn over and stand up before touching the wall, and the S&T judge totally missed it.[/quote]

1. turning over (e.g. past vertical) before touching the wall would be a dq- but standing up would not be, unless he pushed off the bottom.  It would also be pretty unusual, to stand up on an IM.   
2. How do you know S&T missed it?
3. It's actually much harder then it looks- when three kids are coming at you all at the same time, and you want to observe each of their turns.
4. If you think your S&T judges are crummy, and you can do better- by all means volunteer and get certified as an S&T judge.  At least at our pool, and I think this is pretty common- we are constantly begging for more S&T judges to get certified.  [/quote]

+1000 too volunteering!   It is hard watching 3 lanes come in at once versus 1 lane as a timer.   Things get missed.   But that doesn't make them a bad S&T Judge.  [/quote]

I wouldn't mind begin an S&T judge.  Our team reps slotted me as chief timer and want me to keep doing that.  [/quote]
