Scoring Vs Judging

[gene.maurice at attbi.com]

Mark,

WhatIS defined in the Humpty Bump with Options description is "quarter loop to 
verticle. A push would be somewhat difficult from upright, low in the box. You 
can Push or Pull at the top. But again, if you Half Rolled up and then Pushed 
at the top, recovering to level flight in the right direction would be 
impossible.
