<p class=MsoNormal><em><b><i><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold'>I think what's being slightly
overlooked is the word "minimum". We used to be required to call
"the box" at the pole, (which is the way it should still be done, but
I can't change that) but some ill informed people had that requirement altered.
Why do you think that the word "minimum" is inserted at that point in
the wording? It's not because that's where the box needs to be called, (
the box can be called at any point between the pole and the 15 meter point)
it's because the entry and exit lines, for every maneuver, are required to be
15 meters in length. This "minimum' requirement specifies that this is
so, if not by pronouncement then by inference. To me this is quite clear,
however, the thing that we can't substantiate even by inference is whether or
not the exit line from one maneuver can also serve as the entry line for the
upcoming maneuver, eliminating the perception of the need for 30 meters between
maneuvers. I have seen instances where this requirement created a very real
test of the box constraints and would like to see a resolution of this
particular conflict. My feeling is that a superimposition should be acceptable,
but that would have to appear in writing somewhere.</span></font></i></b></em><o:p></o:p></p>

I don't think entry/exit lines have a beginning and end which define their
lengths and if they don't they should not be used for centering
determination. Since the entry and exit lines to a maneuver can and
are often different lengths that would imply those centered maneuvers where
they are different should be downgraded. A good example would be a
turnaround of a half cuban eight, a centered maneuver then a stall turn for the
other turnaround. Should the centered maneuver be downgraded in this case
since the entry and exit lines are of different lengths? Also, the
maneuver descriptions never say, "Model draws a horizontal
line, (remainder of description) ...." The rules
never say the entry and exit lines must be 15 meters only that they must be
there. The implication is, entry/exit lines should not be used in
determining centering.<br>
<br>
Must there be 30 meters between maneuvers? I disagree with Derek
here. Here are the rules on lines. <br>

absence of a definite entry into a maneuver increases the difficulty of judging
its precision and competitors will recognize this as justification for
downgrading. The straight and level exit from a maneuver is one of the more
valuable portions of a maneuver in evaluating how well the intended course of
the maneuver was followed. Therefore, the absence of a well defined
straight and level exit should also result in downgrading. In all cases,
straight and level flight means flight parallel to the flightline, at a
