[NSRCA-discussion] Masters 2007 Figure "M" question

[Mark Atwood]

I would disagree...it IS defined.  Figure M with 3/4 rolls.  Roll direction
is optional, stall direction is optional.  That's always been the case
unless it's specified otherwise.  There's no "implied" roll direction, just
one that some think looks better.  That will always be the case.

Some people do their four points in different directions so as to show the
canopy first, or last, which ever they feel presents better...Not sure I
personally care, but for those that do...go for it.   I know I'll catch
flack for say this, but this IS a subjective sport.  Presentation DOES
matter... Always will.  It's shouldn't outweigh the objective criteria, but
it's not worthless either.
