Displacement during snaps ** del klipped for reposting **

[Doug Cronkhite]

Honestly there are a lot of pilots at the TOC who's snaps I would zero. By
far the biggest obstacle is getting the criteria applied uniformly across
all pilots. If I snap an airplane like some pilots I've seen, I'll get a
zero where they get high scores.

If I were judging Somenzini's snap from what I have read described so far it
would earn a zero. As was previously clearly stated on this list a true snap
must show a discernable break. That means to me that the aircraft must
demonstrate a shift. The question of how much I think is semantics as I
wasn't born with calibrated eyeballs and haven't been able to train them to
become such. If I were judging a snap and saw a shift of more than 2 1/2
wing spans I would suspect it would be entering a barrel roll. Purely
conjecture on my part. 
    Great thread.

As near as I can tell Somenzini's secret is in the setup, not the snap
itself. 
The only place I see to downgrade for offset is in presentation.
 
I admit to being one of his fans.
 
I think the question is a very good one!
