[NSRCA-discussion] Judging Question

There's half-points... and while at FAI the half point doesn't go on a score sheet... I still count them, and round down before putting the score on the sheet. 9.5 becomes 9 7.5 becomes 7. In your example.. he's going to have 3 or 4 half-points off for missing the points by appx 10 deg. That puts him to an 8. (with no other errors)
And again... the original said (paraphrased) "I can see a point, but can't see deviation from the 90 deg incrimental orientations" Thats NOT downgradable. If its off from the 90 enough to downgrade, you will see it. You're trying to compare apples and elephants. If you see the point happened and don't see the point being off orientation... you have given no reason for downgrade. Its a 10.
You can SEE the wings being more than 5 deg off level... If you can see it... its worth a half point downgrade at least. the knife is a little harder to see being off, especially when its centered.
If you are consistant... you can count tenths of a point errors if you want... then round according to your own method for a score that meets the whole point or half point incriments that get put on the sheet.

Hi Fred.
Do I assume 3 flyers you are judging doing point rolls, if all elements are done correctly, except for the points or a point, does pilot "A" who under rotates by 10º and pilot "B" who over rotates in a point by 10º and pilot "C" who nails the point @ 90º all get a 10 score? All other elements are done perfect. Not typical real world but have been their and had to score as I interpret the rules.

The original description said the points were noted.
No downgrade for lack of points.
The original description just complained "I couldn't see if the point was ON the 90" Well that means it was less than 15 deg off because you WOULD see 15 deg off.
No downgrade.
No downgradable item was noted in the initial point roll description.
Its a 10

If the points are so fast as to make it indiscernible what angle they occurred at, then I would tend to doubt whether the point occurred at all. Score 0. It is the pilot's responsibility to present the maneuver in such a manner to demonstrate that the maneuver has in fact been done according to the rules. I sincerely doubt that a 4 point can be done in 1.25 seconds with defined stops in the roll every 90 degrees. But it remains that if, as a judge, you cannot clearly see the relevant elements of any maneuver being performed, then you should assume that IT HAS NOT been performed. The elements must be demonstrated not assumed.
Don Ramsey, can you clarify?

Ok time to get back to our favorite list questions.
This comes from a real life judging problem. The question is about the 4-point roll. This what I am seeing. A 4 point roll that takes less than 1.25 second to complete. You can see 4 very short pauses. The manever appears to be centered. I see no change in height or coming in or out. It appears to be between 150M and 175M. But the pauses are so short that I cannot really tell if the rolls between pauses are 90 degrees. So I cannot see what the 1 point per 15 degree down grade should be.
What would you do?
Randy
