[NSRCA-discussion] Chapter-5 Going too far now "missed point".

[Dave Reaville]

Interesting... I just happen to be doing the judging exam and this is one of the questions they ask to see if you know how to apply the downgrades correctly :-)

In the example given, the pilot missed a point so it's a 5 (or more) point downgrade as per the AMA rule book (RCA-20)  and also the FAI rule book (pg 28 5B.4.3.3). 

If your suggesting it's a zero because the manouver is flown "incorrectly" then why do they have this 5 point downgrade at all? 

Let's go a little further... If I was judging you at the Nats (I just might be BTW) and gave you a zero for a missed point would you actually accept that as being a correct score?  I wouldn't... so you guys are going to just have to get used to the 5 (or more) downgrade from me..... unless of course you don't miss the "point" to begin with.
