I had some weird scores on some  flights.  On the first round, my scores 
had a 94 point raw score  spread (one judge was consistently high).  The 
second round had only  a 14.5 point spread (These judge hung together; 
the worst being an  8.0/6.0/7.0 on the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out). 
The third  round had only a 28.5 point spread (this despite a 
9.5/9.0/6.5 on the 1/2  Outside Loop w/ 2/4 Pt Roll Out).  The fourth 
round had a zero spread  (an elevator half came unhooked from the clevis 
and I landed before  completing the first airborne maneuver)!  The fifth 
round had a 63  point spread, including a 3.0/8.0/6.0 on the Vertical 
Square 8.  The  sixth round had only a 33.5 point spread, however, it 
included 6.0/9.0/8.0  on the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out, 
6.5/8.0/8.5 Top Hat w/ 3/4 Roll  Up, 1/4 Roll Dn and a 6.0/8.0/6.5 on 
the 1/2 Sq Loop w/ 1/2 Roll  Out.

I can accept up to 1.5 point spread from three judges on a  maneuver, 
but more than that means somebody screwed up.

An example in advanced goes like this for my rounds.
Scores with two or more points different on the same  manuver.       high low 
total dirrerence
Round-1------9 random not the same judge  in each case                        
        89
Round-2------2                                                                
                            30
Round-3------6                                                                
                           63
Round-4------3                                                                
                            46
Round-5------5                                                                
                           35
Round-6------3                                                                
                           41  
Round 3 includes 1/2 square with 2 of 4   scores 0---6----7 and a  3-1/2 turn 
spin that scored 0-0-6-1/2
Round 1- includes a spin that scored 8-1/2-0-7
I might add that there were no obvious cases where any judge was scoreing  
real high or low.
And in my case I most likely ended up placeing about where I should have  
give or take plus or minus 5 places.
