[NSRCA-discussion] F3A news

[John Gayer]

Not making a lot of sense. If the judge is required to operate in 1/2 
point deductions, why can't the scoring program? I see no point in the 
judge needing to round to full points either up or down.
Of course, after considering positioning, size, smoothness and grace, 
distance out, etc you will be unlikely to round UP.....
