Question 1 has no good answer. I can't say that I know of any chart callers that do a bad job. I'm fairly certain if the GP chartcaller was not doing a good job we would have heard complaints.

Most chart callers have the ability to get the stewards view replays. It isnt rocket science.

I dont think stewards have any influence on chart callers. Why would they?
For one, I'll just say this, some are much better than others. That doesn't mean any are bad.

Charts come out way too quickly for me to believe there is a whole lot of replay checking going on, particularly from cameras not regularly shown.

Stewards are supposed to be experts. How could they not have influence? It isn't like these guys don't know each other either, and it is just human nature that it would be some influence.

In any case, it doesn't change what I said. Let me know the next time you see a chart where there is a questionable call and the chart caller disagrees, through his writing, with the stewards.
