NZDA have just built a data base for members that are scorers and what level they are at .
I’m a level one scorer (entry level and done 1 course) and you need to do alot of measuring with very experienced measurers to really get fine tuned on all the little details , takes alot of time and alot of the guys that know it all are getting on in age and need to pass the knowledge to the next generation.
If you’re in the NZDA put your hand up and do a course .

The NZDA guy who did mine is apparently known for being harsh on his scores. Didn’t bother me too much as it was an epic score regardless but the sika show score did give me a bit of a middle point to level out the different results. Have thought about going to another official scorer to see what they come up with but it doesn’t stress me enough to bother.

Have definitely looked at doing the course. One day when life settles, three little kids and too many hobbies keeps me busy enough lol.
