Maneuver description and judging</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Boy, I love that Anthony. He really stimulates my
brain ( however small it may be). I spent about 2&1/2 hours Sunday
afternoon drawing out this maneuver in differing scales trying to understand
why the roll position varied with different presentations and was able to
finally determine that the entry point is the culprit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The original maneuver was designed to represent a
golfball sitting on top of a tee. If you take your K-factor and turn the page
upside-down you will see what the thing is supposed to look like in the first
drawing. In the second drawing the tee is extremely small and this is because
the entry point is late ( too close to the center of the maneuver). IMO, the
maneuver should be performed in a way that presents the overall form with
relative symmetry between the upper and lower halves of the total maneuver.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the entry point occurs at a point on a
vertical line drawn tangentially from the extreme radius of the looping
segment with this line intersecting the center of the first 1/8th radius,
then the rolls will occur exactly on the center line of the maneuver and the
baseline (imaginary) of the tee will equal the diameter of the loop
and the total maneuver will be in symmetry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I feel that the symmetry requirement should have
been included in the descriptor in order to achieve standardization in
the judging criteria. Applying the existing criteria to this maneuver is
almost like scoring last year's TO's & Lndgs. I predict that
there will be many a disappointed pilot this year when they get
their sheets.</FONT></DIV>

K-Factor Maneuver description and judging</DIV>

<DIV>It's working: early-season discussion of new maneuvers.
Perfect!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In our early discussions, one of the authors of the sequence protested
that he'd envisioned the 1/2 rolls crossing at center, and just last weekend
when I was practicing, I automatically tried to position and size the
maneuver so that the 1/2 rolls WOULD be on center... but they don't have to
be for a max score. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wayne and Matt nailed it - the maneuver description simply
states that the the rolls are centered on the 45 lines, not that they occur
in the center of the maneuver -- and there's a difference between the
two. It is possible to fly this one correctly in several ways, and
each way should be judged accordingly. As judges we'll need to
score against the maneuver description which is the standard, not a mental
image or set of assumptions... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Keep it coming -this is great! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Rick </DIV>
<DIV>and btw, it IS all Anthony's fault, like he said! <BR> </DIV>

<DIV>The issue was debated by several of us who contributed to the
definitions. The maneuver description doesn't say nor does it imply that
the rolls must be on the center pole, although THAT IS ONE
OPTION. The drawings and explanations are correct as indicated.
Wayne is correct about the radii of looping elements </DIV>
