[NSRCA-discussion] Landing Downgrades

[Richard Strickland]

The best thing about consistent judging locally or nationally is it is no
surprise when going to the Nats and getting 4s when you've been getting 7-8s
locally--as has happened in the past--now getting 4s at home.  Gives you
some time to figure out what is wrong and to be more critical of your
'stuff'.  I remember placing decently with 4s and 5s in Sportsman at the
Nats--many-many moons ago but probably would have done better if I were
getting hammered from the outset.  "Well, you don't want to discourage the
guy..."  How's he going to get better if he thinks he's nailing them?

  Its actually appropriate to judge Sporcsman just as critically as Masters.
If that means the average sore in
  Sportsman doing 2 loops = 5, so be it.  It may turn out that a pilot who
got "1000" after normalization was averaging 5's for all his maneuvers and
wins the contest.

  If you gove a 10 to a guy you could have downgraded 3 or 4 points and the
next guy doing the same maneuver does it in a manner truely worthy of a 10,
you can't call for the last guy's score sheet and THEN apply the downgrades.

    Well Matt..
        To be honest, I do belong to the consistent hard core group of
judges looking for every defect I can detect to  downgrade. So color me cold
hearted.  BUT.. I apply the same standard to all pilots and classes.
Unfortunately, I don't go easier on sportsman as it effects my ability to
stay constant. Some feel that is wrong but I have to do what I feel is truly
best for the sport as a whole while honoring the judges chair.
        Good luck in your flying and may all your flights end by your choice
where and when you want to stop flying.

      Thanks Del, that's what I figured.  I don't believe anyone would be
cold hearted enough to downgrade someone for turbulence when they
automatically correct the wings.

        Matt.
            No downgrade from me unless their was hesitation on your part to
correct your attitude & or wings level immediately after the turbulence.

          I wanted to ask a question about a landing downgrade.  Are you
down graded even a half a point if you are about to touchdown all perfect
and suddenly you get hit by a patch of turbulence?  Because it happened to
me today while flying and I landed it ,but it would of been a prettier
landing without the turbulence. lol
