I would
have thought positioning rated a higher precision aerobatics. Smoothness and
gracefulness is polish.

Another discussion topic relating to new FAIrules 
  
This
will keep the list going (and the discussions too).  I recall Michael
Ramel clearly discussing the future of the rules during the judges training at
the World Championships at Muncie.  This was relating to smoothness
and gracefulness being directly related to constant speed.  The following
reflects what he discussed, as cited on page 35, and effect the way a score is
awarded: 
  
Geometry: 
50% 
Smoothness
and Gracefulness: 25% 
Position
of maneuver: 12.5% 
Size of
maneuver: 12.5% 
Proportion
of the maneuver outside the (box) in addition to above. 
  
The
specific, objective criteria used to judge smoothness and gracefulness
includes, "maintaining constant speed throughout various maneuver
components, like climbing and decending sections..." 
  
Also
the sentence about radii being very loose or very tight, even
if equal size within a maneuver, are grounds for downgrade of
smoothness and gracefulness. 
  
Cheers, 
Don
