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>><br>> Questions?<br>><br>> <86EC7BC7-B7ED-4241-B993-95EC9BCD7026.png><br>><br>><br>> <86EC7BC7-B7ED-4241-B993-95EC9BCD7026.png><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br>> <a href="JAVASCRIPT-BLOCKED;" target="_blank">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br>> <a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a><br>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="JAVASCRIPT-BLOCKED;" target="_blank">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><div><br></div>-- <p></p><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">Scott A.
