Calling Maneuvers for Judges

[Keith Black]

How about when you hear the judge say something like "isn't he supposed to
be inverted", and you're not. This happen to one of the pilots two or three
times in the *same* flight at one contest I attended. Obviously that's very
distracting to the pilot and caller.

Question, if you hear this from the judges should you respond verbally?
Seems like this level of confusion would totally blow the whole flight. What
would be the proper protocol for the pilot during and after the flight if
something like this occurs?
