[NSRCA-discussion] F3A news

[Ron Hansen]

Won’t this result in the scores trending upwards?  Before any infraction
required at least a 1 pt deduction if the judge was following the rules now
the judge can give a ½ point which will be rounded back up.

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.....

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.

It also means that just one minor infraction doesn't count at all.  It only
counts when a 2nd minor infraction is observed.  The logic of that escapes
me.

The purpose is now a minor infraction isn't the same value as a major. You
can have two minors for the same price as a major. It allows the judges to
be more accurate in their tabulation even if it is rounded up.

So the first minor error observed is a freebie.  What is the purpose of
that?

 well it did happen at the December CIAM
meeting.  1/2 points are now effective in F3 aerobatics.  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.
