However, with judges taught to downgrade from what they saw, an  
incorrect maneuver is easy to slip in, unless the judge memorizes the  
maneuver schedule or there's a caller for the judges.  For example, a  
pilot performs what's supposed to be a 1/2 Square Loop w/ 2 of 4  
Point Roll Up.  However, he actually does a 1/2 Square Loop w/ 1/2  
Roll Up.  Hmmmm.  Looks right, but it's a zero.  Many judges will  
miss it.
