Grading Confusion
From past posts here, & conversations with other marshals, it has become apparent that there is a lot of confusion surrounding the grading scheme.
Inspired by Alan Green's excellent 'Beginner's Guide to Marshalling', I 've put together a few thoughts on grading which may help to answer some of the questions, now on line at: http://web.onetel.net.uk/~davebrand/grading.html Any comments, criticisms, even praise, will be gratefully (if not graciously!) received. |

I like this bit:
"grades don't make marshals, marshals make grades." |

"grades don't make marshals, marshals make grades."
This says it all I think. I'm behind you so close it's getting embarassing. It's so good to read this. For some time I really understood, that this whole grading scheme was seen as a way of making a career. I didn't like that idea. It should be something to encourage marshals in getter better in their 'job', not to a thing that devides marshals but a thing that brings us together. |

Nice simple summary Dave. Problem is I might now be in danger of understanding what is going on and can't just refer all queries to the Grading administrator.
Regards Jim |
