Ron, why are you assuming only one 1/2 point (minor) deduction per maneuver???

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?

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.
