This is  another example of the intent of a thread wandering far afoot....as 
the  original questioner, I'd like to refocus my point.
Simply put - according  to our CURRENT rules, there is NOT a downgrade 
criterion for offsetting of the  track during a snap maneuver.
I understand the "more skillful" guy  should get a point reward (by not 
getting a downgrade that others may  receive), but my point is ----
What is the rule basis for the  downgrade?
And since I'm specifically talking about LATERAL track  offsets, not vertical 
or angular, there aren't "general" guidelines to handle  this.
My point being that there SHOULD NOT be a scored difference  between the line 
that shifts and the line that doesn't, all other factors  being identical 
between the quality of the two snaps.....simply because we  don't have the 
criteria identified.

Or am I just being logical  again?


The basis for the downgrade is smoothness and gracefulness, not any other  
spelled out criterion. If one looks for a specific, spelled out rule, it does  
not exist. Dean threw out half a wing span displacement in pitch or yaw as  
acceptable. That's reasonable if not a bit much. Anything more than that is  
grounds for downgrade. Not a zero mind you, just downgrade, and in some cases,  
severe downgrade that may result in a zero.
