[NSRCA-discussion] F3A news

[Verne Koester]

It's a complete 180 from before. Until now, a judge was required to round down. Now we have to round up or let the scoring computer do it. Still inferior in accuracy compared to ama scoring in my opinion.

A special rule provision was made and voted on at the Bureau meeting and the following will become effective this year.  What this means is that for minor errors a 1/2 point deduction is given instead of the “traditional” 1 point deduction.  At the end of the maneuver, if the resulting score is a 6.5, the final score will be rounded up to 7.  The judge can do this automatically or can right down the 6.5 and the scoring program will round the number up.
