<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that is an interesting idea, but probably
not a good idea in practice. There is enough pressure on a pilot during a
flight, imagine if you were only halfway through your sequence and you could
tell from the crowd's reaction that you had zeroed a snap. Makes concentrating
on the rest of the flight a little more difficult.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just my thoughts on that.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">I’ve been talking about this for years. If
there was a simple electronic scoreboard posting raw scores, it would make
for a much better spectator sport. Yes, there would be some booing as
a snap was scored or zeroed, but I’m not sure that that’s a bad thing.
I might find it to be disruptive to hear all the laughing, but I’d get
used to it. Heck, I am used to it :)<BR><BR>I can only imagine the
cries when a wrong maneuver is flown and everyone but the judges know
it.<BR><BR><BR>On 8/27/07 1:37 PM, "Derek Koopowitz"

style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">There is a thread on RCU under the "Classic
Pattern Flying" forum about the team selection in 1972. Way back
then they were posting real time scores of pilots as they flew -
apparently they had a "reporter" that looked over the judges shoulders as
they scored each maneuver and then radioed them to someone that
posted/wrote the scores of each maneuver as they were flown onto a poster
size scoresheet attached to a board. <BR> <BR>With the technology
available to us today I would love to see this at future contests - can
you just imagine all the "oohhhss and aahhhs" from the spectators.
