Questionable decisions - Courchevel Enquirer
Throughout the day certain members of certain resorts (especially ones beginning with M) got a little heated when results went against their favour.
As with all refereeing/judging there are always questionable calls. Just watch any football match. When they are in your favour they are ok but when they are against you we must have a public enquiry.
Each run was judged out of five points. 1 for speed, 1 for air, 2 for style and 1 for overall. With the two judges whose teams were competing judging the non-subjective speed category. As one (of six) of the judges it wasn't until after the third race that some of the finer technical parameters had been worked out. By which point Courchevel had already raced twice and although it wouldnít have swung the overall scores they should have won a few more points. However I think there were an equal amount of questionable decisions over all the teams so no one team really benefitted.
