style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If the points are
so fast as to make it 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>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Ok time to get back to our
favorite list questions.<BR><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
