It is very difficult to do this with the snap switch alone unless you are very fast and do the break first and then use the snap switch just after. I agree that the snap done by hand is a lot better and under control.  My personal experience is that if I try to break first the snap is a lot better.  I agree that is very difficult to judge.

It wasn't nearly that clear-cut in Poland, Vicente.  No identifiable 
reason was given to zeroes in some cases versus scores in others, and 
the pilot's name also seemed to factor into this.
