Calling Maneuvers for Judges

[Terry Terrenoire]

By then it is too late! The caller can straighten it out by calling the
next maneuver loud enough for them to hear, and add the detail of exit
"upright or Inverted" you can still go to the CD afterward, but at least
you will get the judge back on the right track.
