[NSRCA-discussion] Where does the maneuver start?

This question was brought up at a local contest without a sure answer.  
This was specifically referring to the last 2 maneuvers in FAI P-19 but 
might apply to other situations as well.  The last 2 maneuvers are a 
half Cuban with 2 of 4 on the 45 followed by a square with half rolls.

So when does the square start?  Is it at center?  or at the first pull 
up?  It clearly has to finish after center after a straight segment 
following the half roll.  If the the half Cuban is flown large so that 
it finished after or at center box does that cause a downgrade on the 
square or do you start judging at the first pull up (no downgrade)?

You could potentially have a similar question in Masters with the start 
of the triangle after the half square on corner turnaround.

Thanks,
