  The idea of callers "helping" judges sounds good but is not at all good in
practice.

  First of all, you have to be close enough to hear. Pilots do not want or
need maneuvers shouted at them or even given in full text descriptions.

  Secondly, some pilots do not actually have them called.

  Thirdly, many pilots get the maneuvers verbalized in pairs so that they
can set up for the next center maneuver.

  Last on this list, but not least, almost all pilots have the maneuver
called before the current one is finished.

  I am a big advocate of keeping the judges and the pilots apart in all ways
during the flight.

  Regards,

  Eric.

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)
