Randy,

Roll rate, the speed at which rolling is done, does not matter. You can peg 
the stick if you want to for each quarter roll; or do a slow entry for each 
quarter roll, except be careful you don't run out of room when doing one 
slowy.

What matters is that the rate be constant and that the hesitations are 
visible, of constant duration, and obvious to the judge. If the hesitations 
are too short and not obvious, then, you know what's coming

All the other items the book describes, apply of course, like hitting the 
points every 90 degrees, centering, and distance out, to name a few (in that 
order of importance and not belabor the obvious). 

We in the JC just recently discussed certain issues wth point rolls. Don 
Ramsey will be writing an article for the KFactor and discussing these.

BTW- remember that if you run out of room and you do not show the appropriate 
amount of straight and level before the turnaround, 2 point downgrade  on 
your TA for this infraction alone.
