[NSRCA-discussion] Judging

[Ron Van Putte]

I "sorta" call it when I do the wrong maneuver.  I was having a  
particularly bad day last weekend at the D-3 Championships and one of  
the judges commented after a flight that I made it easy for him to  
write down a zero.  Whenever I said, "Sh-t", he'd just put down a zero.
