>> Bill,
>> I've been pretty much in the thick of the crossbox discussions. There are 
>> only two points I've been trying to get through. The first is that a 
>> "forced" or no options crossbox maneuver should never precede a rolling 
>> maneuver. The reason is that if a pilot is anywhere near the ideal 
>> distance of 150 meters out, the only logical option is to go out to avoid 
>> making the box too small for the upcoming roll. This in turn, forces the 
>> pilot to be further out than desired. I'd never even thought about it 
>> before tackling the current Masters schedule.
>>
>> The second point is that it would be nice if we could conjure up some new 
>> turnaround maneuvers with options so the pilot would have the option of 
>> preserving the line he was on or making adjustments.
>>
>> I absolutely agree that crossbox maneuvers are a necessity. Ideally, they 
>> should occur twice during a schedule. The first one being about 1/4 to 
>> 1/3 of the way into the schedule with the second one being 3/4 to 2/3 of 
>> the way through. In addition, they should immediately follow a snap 
>> maneuver, if there is one (or two) since a snap usually involves some 
>> degree of line displacement.
>>
>> When one considers all the parameters involved in designing a good 
>> schedule, or set of schedules, it becomes quickly apparent that saying 
>> "great job" isn't nearly enough for you and your team. Having said all 
>> that,  GREAT JOB!!!!!!!
