10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Last year I scored a zero for not hesitating
on a point roll in a ½ square w/ 2/4 point. The pilot approached me and asked
about the zero. In our discussion the pilot asked if I blinked. I couldn’t
rule out that I may have but I didn’t see the hesitation and I could
score it as such. After talking to a couple of folks, I learned that a zero isn’t
warranted on the basis of -no hesitation- for a point roll. After talking with
the CD I did correct my score based on the rule outlined on page RCA-20 for Rolls,
note 4. Pretty close to the same wording as last year. I wanted to make sure I
scored it correctly based on what I saw.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

indiscernible what angle they occurred at, then I would tend to doubt whether
the point occurred at all. Score 0. It is the pilot’s responsibility to
present the maneuver in such a manner to demonstrate that the maneuver has in
fact been done according to the rules. I sincerely doubt that a 4 point can be
done in 1.25 seconds with defined stops in the roll every 90 degrees. But it
remains that if, as a judge, you cannot clearly see the relevant elements of
any maneuver being performed, then you should assume that IT HAS NOT been
performed. The elements must be demonstrated not assumed. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
This comes from a real life judging problem. The question is about the
4-point roll. This what I am seeing. A 4 point roll that takes less
than 1.25 second to complete. You can see 4 very short pauses. The
manever appears to be centered. I see no change in height or coming in or
out. It appears to be between 150M and 175M. But the pauses are so
short that I cannot really tell if the rolls between pauses are 90
degrees. So I cannot see what the 1 point per 15 degree down grade should
be.<br>
<br>
<br>
What would you do?<br>
