[NSRCA-discussion] Judging-snap & spin

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Ron,
Your idea caused me to stop and think.  I'm wondering if it would really help, however.  If a pilot "in the hunt" screws the landing (K=1) he's now "out of the hunt" on that round.  Scores are often very compressed at local contests so even if we reduce the KF, a bad score on any manuver is usually enough to do mortal damage.

  Eliminating is one solution - a price that comes with that solution is lack of practice doing and judging snaps-
  which is desirable for some in AMA classes, and for sure for those looking ahead to F3A.

  An in between thought - reduce the K factor considerable for snap and spin maneuvers.
  That leaves them in the schedules, provides flying and judging practice on them, but reduces the
  impact of the imperfect judging of them on round scores.

    My cents worth on the subject.
    Snaps and Spin entry seem to cause much of the problem.
    Why do we continue to repeat trying to solve a problem that most agree is controversial at best and impossible to judge consistently on an equal basis?
    Seems that the best solution is to eliminate these from the schedules and pick maneuvers that more suit Precision Aerobatics and their ability to be judged correctly by everyone not just those who have advanced to the top of the super judge platform.

    Buddy
