"OK... make noticeable speed variations doing your maneuvers in your 
sequence.... watch your score.

If you vary your speed... you're gonna get downgrades.  Prove it wrong by 
varying speed but doing the maneuver the correct shape and getting a 10. 
It 
will not happen."


Fred you probably are correct, your scores will suffer. Daves point is 
(and my installing exclaimations points) that this is not in the rules and 
any of you that are judging per this criteria are wrong and are damaging 
our beloved hobby.  Be fair people and follow the rules, not your bias, as 
you will never know what the other judge's bias could possibly be...and I 
have heard many idiotic based judging bias. 
By the way I conducted a study, employed  IPDS and produced a matrix that 
proves that such judging bias is the reason why the number of pattern 
flyers has steadily decreased over the last 20 years. If you wanna 
increase our numbers eliminate judges who do not follow the rules, it will 
be approximately 74.571% more effective than creating a "new rule" 
eliminating 2M planes from lower classes.

Signed, with love
