I imagine a world where before someone makes a rude or insulting comment, they perhaps do a modicum of research on the actual series they are watching. It’s rules and the logic behind them, who the judges are, their backgrounds, who they also work for and have worked for. Maybe watch a video or two or listen to one of our info podcasts on rules or better yet, maybe there is a FD mod I can talk to who works in the FD office and sits one door down from the president and across from the competition director. And if I come away from that with a better understanding and still have issues with rules conceptually or in application, at least I know what I’m talking about regarding FD. And if I don’t want to do that, maybe I should just be a bit more humble when something confuses me in a sport that is built on non-intuitive things and that is also massively complex. Man, that would be awesome.

Matfield simply stopped drifting to get closer to Adam, he walked in a straight line and when he got closer he hit Adam making him lose control and the guy still wins the battle, seriously this isn't the first time I've seen errors in judgment and This battle is only having repercussions because Adam is so well known. I believe it is time for new judges who are impartial

Rome had his car nearly written off from hits by the chase car, pushed off track and was put at fault, Adam was put at fault for an impeded lead line, which other drivers had go their way for the exact same reason, and all of this to ignore the fact that the judges cannot properly see that zone from where they sit due to the smoke.

@@formuladrift yes. Yes it does…. It had never been this bad that multiple people got screwed. How can you transition on time after getting bumped twice (odi and Rome) and since when has contact just been ignored as far as messing up lead drivers. You can say whatever you would like. However. Based on all of drifting and the calls made in previous years. This goes against all of it. And no protest. Rushing through the livestream. Having interviews during other peoples battles. Acting like it’s ok because it’s someone y’all love talking over the little guys runs. While someone MADE A LEGIT PASS. So many things wrong. Love Reese Marin. Dealt with his judging multiple times. Never had an issue. So I’m not personally targeting judges. But damn. Some really bad calls regardless

However from an outside perspective, it looks like you guys are just arguing with viewers (in the comments) and I don’t see any benefits coming from it.

so, new judges?

fd sucks nowadays.

Fan(s) could be better judges

Given FD's response to almost unanimous criticism of the judgement at this event and last, i wouldn't be surprised if this series died off to make room for a replacement. Sad, i genuinely enjoy watching this on KZread.

Judges like mushrooms.

My Granny could've judged this weekend better, and she's dead!

drivers really drove this event. nice to see a reverse entry, couple taps, ect

@FD the judging sucked this weekend! Adam was robbed of the win!

Great, highlights of the bad judging calls. Can’t wait to watch and be disappointed again 👍🏾😁

putting that clip in from Adam is making it more clear how stupid the judges are in this sport

I’m not here to complain about the call, it’s a split moment decision that (stupidly) can’t be changed. Protesting on the other hand; That’s what needs to make a comeback for 2025

As somebody who has been keeping up with the sport for almost 20 years, something needs to be done about the judging.

like dislike ratio also brutal so far lmao

You can win all the events buy not drifting. Wrecking cars and still getting the W.

can someone explain to me how the judges made bad calls? I didn't watch the event live and I genuinely want to know. please and thank you

Atlanta sucked. Judges kill the vibe

Judges are fine, they just need to bring back protest.

Couldn’t tell if this was FD or an online lobby for car X drift

Who are those judges??

Are they going to address the comments on the awful judges or are we all just going to boycot the sport

The judges inconsistent af as always... Ppl are forgetting abt Diego Higa Vs Rome and Rome Vs Odi... two similar cases with different decisions 😂 that was ridiculous

Odi's car blows an engine while showboating, after putting Rome in the gravel....instant Karma.

I cant wait till jarod is done announcing so i can stop listening on mute

Adam and Rome should won tbh.

We were kinda worried about that actually considering one of the judges was on Adam’s team last year and they are super friendly. I guess we can assume, even if you think he’s wrong, he’s got integrity and conviction.

I think the new rules are pretty good. But I agree. Protests should still be a thing. But its their choice not OURS.

Ай бұрын

We’ve done that. It really makes no difference. And their screens are blacked out so no one can see their vote + when they talk, they aren’t saying, “who are you voting for, he he?” They are saying, did you see this, what was that, because if they can confirm they saw what they saw, it actually helps the process because 2 minds is better than 1 and 3 is better than 2. Final point in how you know those discussions make no difference is there are multiple calls where they not only vote Driver A/OMT/OMT, they more than a couple times vote Driver A/Driver A/Driver B which typically happens on super close battles, so that become evidence against collusion. Just go back and check for yourself.

@@garrettviveiros5643 Not because his car exploded. Regardless if you agree that Odi was at fault for Rome going off course or agree with the judges that Rome was at fault for going off the course, the fact remains that once the lead driver incompletes the run is over and the chase driver need not finish it because of factors of danger. However if the chase incompletes, the lead does need to finish the run because he has clean air and is unobstructed as the lead. Whether or not you agree with the fault, do you see why the run is over if the lead incompletes, shuts down, crashes, spins, etc than if the chase does it?

Need better judges and the protests back if not y’all gon lose a lot of fans

Ай бұрын

The same can be said for judging, it's not that deep, it's not that hard, it doesn't take much to understand the rules you made yourself, how is it hard to implement them if you created them in the first place with a clear goal and idea in mind ? What are the rules impeding on when it comes to proper judging, why would the rules built to help the judges you know... judge these runs be impeding them in the first place ? You aren't making any sense. They have plenty of experience too, this isn't the first time bad calls have been made, and almost everyone agrees it was a bad call, nobody but the judges and people who work for FD actually disagree. The driver (AdamLZ) made a KZread video showcasing exactly what happened inside the car in the battle where that bad call was made and it's pretty clear that it was the chase drivers fault, and the chase driver made plenty of mistakes previous to that one, yet they give them the win, that's the issue, it's all inconsistent.

@apac1012 Well okay, fine. I will see eye to eye on it that way. I just hope that if this is true they will at least attempt to improve themselves from now on, because at this point there are no more excuses, people have voiced their concerns, we have seen the issues and know what to fix and what doesn't work and what does. Can't be making these mistakes again. Bring back protests, or implement a sensor that can read the G's of the driver so when they get into an impact you can see how it affects the driver or the car in general. Also I would rather we have rules go back to being a bit more punishing for poor drifting overall, you can't have that many mistakes in a run and still win. Judges should also not be making calls on opinions when it comes to contact from the chase driver hitting the lead, like with Adam getting hit by Field or RCP getting hit by Odi. Both got hit and interrupted them but judges didn't see it that way in their opinion. They need to be 100% sure without a doubt objectively factualy and truthfully know it wasn't the case.
