snap displacement

Keith:

Yes, you are correct about the "degree" downgrade.  I also agree that the pilot that does the "most clean looking snap" will get the better score, no matter what you use as a downgrade base.

  Tony, you can't measure displacement in degrees. Heading would be measured in degrees, but displacement would be measured in inches or feet.

  The list has had this conversation before and the conclusion was that there should be no downgrade for displacement as long as the heading/track remains the same. That being said, I would think that if someone does a snap that jumps way over and another pilot does one that clearly snaps but displaces less that the second pilot should be rewarded for a more clean looking snap.

    I have seen many full-scale pilots do snaps without any noticeable displacement.  I have also seen these same pilots do poor ones that did displace.  I think you must downgrade it some (1 point per 15 deg).
