Outside the 9 dots - again

[ronlock]

Ive tried the concept in practice.  Judging only center maneuvers,
or only both end maneuvers.   I think it works well, and provides
a bit of extra time for the judge to summarize errors seen during
the maneuver, write it down, and have eyes on the plane for the
next maneuver.
