[QUOTE="capparelli, post: 690915, member: 3262"] Officials put cuts on a class in a judging contest as a way to score the participants placings in the contest. 4/1 was a harder decision than 1/3, therefore the cut was less. The placing of 1/3 should have been more obvious, and therefore the higher cut. With the bottom pair you would only take a 3 point cut for placing 2/3, because it was a tighter pair than 1/3. Usually there will be more than one official for a judging contest, and that will also effect the cuts. The officials don't always place the class the same, so they have to compromise. I don't know if that helps at all, I may have just made it more complicated than helpful. [/QUOTE]
