+1 to Ken's feedback.
 
Here's a link that has an illustration of the Intermediate sequence for
further confirmation.

Hi Larry, 

No requirement for the length of the pause, it just needs to be a clear
pause and needs to be centered.

How long does the pause at inverted need to be.
 
If I roll inverted and then roll upright in the opposite direction, is it
assumed there was a pause because it is natural in 1/2 rolls in opposite
directions; or, must there be a lengthy hesitation?
 
It's been awhile since I've flown in a contest... 2010 with a Zen 50 (only
two contest that year); prior to that was 2007 w/ a 2M plane...
 
As I recall the length of pause is not a downgrade. However, being a
spectator at a contest earlier this year I noted many Intermediate pilots
with a very long pause, almost or likely an inverted flight segment in the
manuever as the length of inverted seemed much more than just a pause
perhaps a second or so.
 
Inverted segment must be centered. For scoring, if I roll early to inverted,
I must hold the same length on the other side of center so that the inverted
segment is centered. Not a questioning this...
 
Probably should have clarified this prior to the day before a contest... LOL
