The break comes because of the stall/defines the stall and has NOTHING to do 
with how the pilot accomplished it (I.E. snap switch) Judge what you see and 
don't get to zero happy, personally I think some judges get to zero happy/spend 
too much time looking for a zero, rather than judging what they see.  When 
you sit down in the chair your mind set should be "I will judge by the rule 
book" not "I'm going to catch someone in a zero", there is too much going on to 
spend much time on such things. Just judge what you see, by the rule book, there 
is plenty going on to judge.

My work here is done, flame suit on
