Masters 2005 questions

Hey everyone.  Have a couple "picky" questions on the figure 9 and avalanche.
 
1)  On the figure 9, is it an "altitude adjusting" manuver?  By this I mean does the 1/2 roll have to be centered on the horizontal line the manuver started on?  Another way of looking at it is does the size of the 3/4 loop dictate where the 1/2 roll should be or does the length of the vertical line from the end of the 3/4 loop to the start of the 1/4 loop pullout dictate the centering of the 1/2 roll?
 
A person start at a medium height, then do a huge 3/4 loop, not leaving enough room to center the 1/2 roll on the horizontal line with equal before and after lengths, so do the roll early(above the horizontal starting point) but keep the roll centered in the downline.
 
2)  Does the radius of the 3/4 loop have to be the same radius as the 1/4 loop pullout?
 
3)  On the reverse avalanche.  If we are to maintain the radius of the loop, how do we keep a slight downward radius when having to pitch up for a positive snap, then 1/2 way through the snap begin a very slight upward radius while finishing the snap.  Just food for thought.  I think the bigger the manuever the better to hide this little radii problem.  Any other thoughts.
 
Thanks in advance.
