Judging questions

[Randy]

Judging commitee clarifies the rules as needed and does a good job of mmaking that information available.  Look at the NSCRA web site for judging commitee section.

  Although it is counterintuitive, I accept and, if ever asked to judge, will try to apply what Dave Lockhart and Scott have explained about this. Without this topic having come up, I would have compared all radii to the initial one in all looping maneuvers. It seems more logical to me.

   I can't envision attempting a square loop and saying to myself, "Oops! I made the initial radius too sharp. I'll just make the other three larger and hope I only lose one point." But the interpretation in question allows for this.

  Where do these rule interpretations come from? Who makes them? Are they in writing somewhere? Maybe there should be rule interpretaion addendum. Do all certified judges know about these? I just attended a seminar and I didn't.

  Other than snaps and spins (let's not go there!), are there other "secret" rule interpretations we should know about?

  No intention to be sarcastic here; I just want to play the game correctly.
