By the time you have your tape measure, to measure the touchdown point. ready box 1,2,3 are waiting.It is a guess anyway of how far off the touchdown is.
A split S half loop is always done immediately after the rolling element with no pause.Pause it and you get downgrade.

  Hey, we ain't IMAC, re: snaps!  And certainly not the Tucson Shootout.  I've never seen such exaggerated pitch breaks in my life!  20 degree pitch breaks before any rotation.  I think 5 points for AMA is severe, but doesn't kill you if you don't have a break.

  As I read the landing rule, landing outside the zone is a proportionate downgrade.  If you land less than 1.5 meters outside the zone (5% of the 30 meter zone), that is a 1/2 point downgrade, 3 meters or less is 1 point, etc.  You'd have to land 30 meters from the line to get a zero just from this flaw.  Do the rubber o-ring tires on MK tailwheels count as a part?  ;)

  I'm also reading that the 2 of 4 going into the split s  (intermediate sequence) requires you to pull immediately after reaching the 2nd point.  This was the way I thought it should be, but some were arguing that you had to hesitate after the 2nd point the same amount as you did between the points, then pull.

    I guess we can't zero snaps for not having a pitch break...lol. RCA-20, right side.

    And the landing zone is essentially a 30m box. But it is not a 0 if you don't land in it, just a downgrade. But don't go knocking parts off of it, or it'll become a 0. RCA-26
