    Not making a lot of sense. If the judge is required to operate in
    1/2 point deductions, why can't the scoring program? I see no point
    in the judge needing to round to full points either up or down.<br>
    Of course, after considering positioning, size, smoothness and

                effective in F3 aerobatics.  A special rule provision
                was made and voted on at the Bureau meeting and the
                following will become effective this year.  What this
                means is that for minor errors a 1/2 point deduction is
                given instead of the “traditional” 1 point deduction. 
                At the end of the maneuver, if the resulting score is a
                6.5, the final score will be rounded up to 7.  The judge
                can do this automatically or can right down the 6.5 and
                the scoring program will round the number up.<br>
