Judging Idea I have heard ??

This would cost small games more money because the number of throwing flights would be less than the number of events or stations for throwing.

WOB, Sheaf, WFD, Hammer, Stones, Caber would seem to imply at least 6 judges (maybe a 7th for a side caber judge).

If a games has 6 or 7 flights of throwers, then it would be equally cost effective. However, if an AD has that many flights, I am guessing he would also have a LWFD and HWFD throwing pit, and perhaps two stone throwing pits.  This again would increases the number of judges above the number of flights making it more expensive than the traditional judging method of one judge per flight.

That's my 2 cents

I am doing something similar to this. I am having a judge for each trig (3) and a judge for each flight (3). When the distance events are done, the three trig judges will either do caber side judging or other duties. With 48 athletes and a time limit of 8:30 - 4:30 I have to have judges to keep things moving.
