repeatedly pointed out regarding using the current system and while I truly
concur with your opinion the ruling part sees nothing wrong with throwing away
some rounds which is against the very attribute they contend to support. If the
overall best average pilot shows up each round and does their best then they
would secure their place. Belittling any judges work manning the chair by
throwing away their work is counter-productive to the hard work they put
in&nbsp;with their calibrated eyeballs. It is all about what is an acceptable
compromise. In a perfect world all judges would be focused and catch every zero
but when the maneuvers are as complex as they have become it is a daunting task
for new pilots to master let alone feel comfortable about advancing to the
point they have to man the chair to compete. &nbsp;The sport has become so
complex one needs professional caller and when you have maintaince issues to
tend to while having to go man the chair makes it less than desirable. Maybe
that is why many are glad to have the choice of throwing one of their flights
away. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

The system used at bakersfield regresses back to winning with a &quot;

dilemma of becoming the popularity contest we used to deal with.&nbsp;
Normalizing normally rewards the consistently best pilot, however there are

have put him about 30 points over Dale.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
