If the gate judging is the issue, how many of you guys have used Splash Eye. Awesome program but expensive.
I say leave the gate rule as is, it' s confusing enough as is for the public.
Also, what about those close calls of did the skier actually go around the turn buoy. Are we going to just give the skier a couple moligans because of the uncertainty of the call. I believe the rule states when in doubt rule to the skiers favor. I've seen gates reviewed 4 to 5 times in super slow motion. Maybe the rule change needs to be that the judge only gets one look and it is in normal speed along with a clear understanding of when in doubt rule to the skiers advantage.
