<DIV>Interesting... I just happen to be doing the judging exam and this is one of the questions they ask to see if you know how to apply the downgrades correctly :-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the example given, the pilot missed a point so it's a 5 (or more) point downgrade as per the AMA rule book (RCA-20) and also the FAI rule book (pg 28 5B.4.3.3). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If your suggesting it's a zero because the manouver is flown "incorrectly" then why do they have this 5 point downgrade at all? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let's go a little further... If I was judging you at the Nats (I just might be BTW) and gave you a zero for a missed point would you actually accept that as being a correct score? I wouldn't... so you guys are going to just have to get used to the 5 (or more) downgrade from me..... unless of course you don't miss the "point" to begin with.</DIV>
