Wrong Maneuver issues

[John Ferrell]

I have noticed that I always give better scores when I am judging the same maneuver as the pilot is flying.

Sometimes the scribe becomes a handicap!

    Personally I like it when the caller calls the maneuvers loud enough for the judges to hear, then I don't need a scribe just a blank paper, then transcribe the # after the flight.

  I agree, with the caller calling the maneuvers loud enough for the judges to hear, but I have found that there is a lot of resistance to this proceedure.  I've always viewed presenting the sequence such that the judges could judge it, easily and correctly as part of the "job" and the caller can contribute to that to a large degree, by calling the maneuvers such that there is no confusion.  I will also point out that I have nearly been lynched for this position, on occasion :-)

  This otta' get some action going on the list (flame suit on, bring it)
