If you vary your speed... you're gonna get downgrades. Prove it wrong

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Fred you probably are correct, your
scores will suffer. Daves point is (and my installing exclaimations points)
that this is not in the rules and any of you that are judging per this
criteria are wrong and are damaging our beloved hobby. Be fair people
and follow the rules, not your bias, as you will never know what the other
judge's bias could possibly be...and I have heard many idiotic based judging
bias. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">By the way I conducted a study, employed
IPDS and produced a matrix that proves that such judging bias is
the reason why the number of pattern flyers has steadily decreased over
the last 20 years. If you wanna increase our numbers eliminate judges who
do not follow the rules, it will be approximately 74.571% more effective
than creating a "new rule" eliminating 2M planes from lower classes.</font>
