Put equity back into snap judging

1. If you can't guarantee to judge it correctly take it out of AMA 
schedules. It is grossly unfair to penalize pilots this way.


Good point, but if we take it out, then me as an Advanced flyer will never 
have the chance to learn how to "Cheat" a snap as good as the FAI guys do. 
You know....that little no elevator flip that they do to keep the heading 
correct and never get a zero cuz they be "insert big name here". 

If the top FAI guys faced some of the critical snap judging that most of 
us ocassionally do, and know one knew their name, they too would remove it 
or change the criteria ....according to me.

In defense of the individual FAI flyers....the ones I know are pretty cool 
guys...just gotta play the game. As the name recognition goes up, it seems 
the weenier the snap gets......in other words, the so called "regular" FAI 
guy faces a huge disadvantage when faced with the judging 
criteria/disparity Eric mentioned plus facing name recognition. AND as 
usual....I could be wrong.

Tonight, I am going to paint my prop all pretty colors. Can anyone tell me 
what colors and designs score the best?
