Calling Maneuvers for Judges

[Del Rykert]

The only times the contestant should be responding to what the judges might be saying is you are cleared to go onto the active, We are ready when you are, Land now we have a full scale in the area, etc. All other conversations should not be going on from the judges while doing their judging duties. Judges don't have time for talking while judging except to their scribes if they are so fortunate.

  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?
