Snap or not (since we have nothing better to do)

[Grow Pattern]

At the Don Lowe Masters they used a zero panel. This panel determined if a 
maneuver was done wrong and should have been a zero. All three judges had to 
agree and it would override the main judges line. It worked but was 
extremely labor intensive.

I just go by, "If it looks like a snap, it is a snap". There are plenty of 
other things to look out for.
