  It's raining very hard in NJ today, (No flying), so after an e-mail from on Ramsey's I spent this afternoon fixing the descriptions of the 2005-7 Masters schedule  

  I understand why there is confusion about the use of short-hand of 3/4 for the words "three-quarter". Where it was used it was never meant to mean  "3 of 4 point etc". My mistake BTW.

  In English it (3/4) means one thing and in Pattern/Aresti it means another. We have a mixture of pilots out there who read one of the other or both.

  It sort of works at first if you use English fractions as short-hand but breaks when you get higher.
  e.g.
  1/4 = One quarter roll is of a 4 point roll
  1/2 = One half roll is 1 of a 2 point roll
  then 
  2/4 = is 2 of 4 points of a roll  
  BUT
  3/4 is either three-quarters in English, or 3 of a 4 point roll in pattern-speak!!!

  This was all my mistake during "submission haste" a couple of years ago. So here is the "fixed" and somewhat overstated version.

   This write-up should give us much better clarity.

  I have an MS-Word file of schedule and descriptions, if anyone wants a copy?, that is better formatted. PLEASE E-MAIL DIRECT to  eric.henderson at comcast.net
