At the time of the contest board vote, there was considerable concern 
about the safety of the 45 degree down snap roll maneuver by many of the 
contest board members.  All the maneuver schedule changes were packaged 
as a single vote and affirmative votes of the eleven board members is 
required for passage of a rule change.  It was felt that the votes were 
not there for passage.  Since a negative result of the voting would have 
caused all of the proposed maneuver schedule changes to be thrown out, a 
compromise was reached by removing the 45 degree down snap roll.  Just 
why the Immelmann Turn was removed, I can't say.  Why an alternative 
maneuver to the 45 down snap wasn't added, I also can't say.
