Judging...judging...judging....the forever discussion. There is no competition without controversy abt judging, it has always been like that, and will continue forever, you can never find the best judges, NEVER.
THis beeing said, I feel that all 3 judges did a good work during the whole competition. For the record they had 42 battles to judge in 1 day, not a 1 shot battle who decide who's gonna win big time or loose big time.
Thats the WFSLeague system, we do not want to have a one shot winner, we want them to battle, to sweat, to take risks and to be close to the perfection to win.
Nam did a great job at the technical score, he has a good knowledge of what japanese freestyle is and has a greater experience than most of the freestylers regards to japan freestyle. So to me, he is very much able to judge it technically.
Kamikaze is a freestyler. yes a basketball freestyler, but his score is Performance, his judgment does not take into account in the Technical score.
As for Control. Tom is not a football player. He is one of the only coach who teach kids all the technical aspects of controling a football. He has enough experience to judge the Control score and the associated criterias, I watched it closely, and if you wanna check all 42 battle by yourself, you will see that his judgment is valid.
He has been teaching how to control a football for 20 years, why wouldn't he be a good judge for this Score?
Why taking only freestylers to judge? we try to bring the best persons who have enough experience, from our point of view, to judge their criteria.
The winner of this competition had to battle 9 times also. So out of this you can have a better view of who is overall the best during the day. And when I look at the results I can tell that it reflects the 42 battles.
This particular battle is 1 out of 42, you cannot have a valid point on judging while watching only this one.
