Judging in Athletics

Why does this still exist? It only leads to controversy. Multiple cameras feeding a computer system with appropriate algorithm should solve the issues. Why does this not exist right now?

The sports that use judges have a subjective component beyond the purely mechanical performance that requires human analysis.

Sadly, corruption is an ever present specter, but the effect of a performance on the human spirit cannot be evaluated by a machine.

But Grady the majority of what judges subjectively judge are in fact the correct completion of mechanical movements. To me that's where the problem begins. As good as some might be no way they see everything correctly. Let a system based eye take care of that. A computerized system to determine if all the mechanical movements were in fact completed correctly. Say 90% of the score. Then you can add 10% to the score for judging the touchy feely "effect of the performance on the human spirit". This could significantly reduce the continuous complaints that both athletes and fans have with the current system.

Personally, I like this topic
However, the East German judge gave it a 6.4

You make a good case.

I'd like to see how that would work out in practice.

I would think that some sports have done this research. The NFL with the pylon cameras or MLB with the strike zone. I am sure that most if not all sports could have metrics added to the rules that a computer program could measure and tabulate a score.

Interesting topic indeed.

Maybe two scores averaged together. One computer for technical and one human for the "other" parts.
