<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dave<BR><BR><BR><BR>The best score from the known schedule
will be combined with the best score from the unknown schedules for final
classification. In the case of a tie the preliminary score will be used to
decide the higher classification. Scores for all rounds, preliminary and finals,
will be computed using the Tarasov-Bauer-Long (TBL) statistical averaging
scoring system. Only computer tabulation systems containing the TBL algorithm
and judge analysis programs and approved by the CIAM Bureau can be used at World
and Continental Championships. All scores for each round, including the finals
rounds will then be normalized as follows. When all competitors have flown in
front of a particular group of judges (i.e. a round) the highest score shall be
awarded 1000 points. The remaining scores for that group of judges are then
normalized to a percentage of the 1000 points in the ratio of actual score over
winner's score.<BR></FONT></DIV>
