<DIV>Is there any data that show the order of pilots was changed due to TBL
being used?</DIV>

TBL is only factored once a round is finished and the results
calculated. With TBL scores are adjusted to the whole score and result
in whole numbers. Remember, the entire score isn't thrown out - just a
maneuver score. When a score is dropped then TBL is run on the entire
set of scores again to recalculate the mean and std. deviation - it is an
iterative process until all scores fall within the range that are calculated
for the pilots/judges.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Bottom line - the system works very well and in the end
the correct order of finish is picked - which is what we want. In
all the years of scoring with TBL at the TOC I saw very few judges scores
discarded which probably says more about the quality of judging than
anything else. I'd be very curious what the results have been at the
F3A WC's since it was implemented.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
