Rex and Gordon both make a good point; which is was my point of confusion. Where did the "Half Square Loop" end. The corrections from the "1/2 square loop" exit lead to my dis-orientation; where did the the blown - centered - "square loop" begin? What I am hearing is the answer to both is the judges call. The conflict being, screw ups between maneuvers carry over to the next maneuver. <div>
<br></div><div>15 meters is approximately 40 feet. I assure you by the time I reached 40-45 feet on top from the "1/2 square loop" I was totally mixed up, in some sort of knife edge pointed outward. </div><div>
<br>
</div><div>My conclusion: minus at-least 2 points for the "1/2 square loop" exit, we will not talk about the up line, a zero for the centered "Square loop from top" and half loop deductions starting from 10. Thanks, Mike<br>

The half square ended on a straight line exit of 15 meters. If the whole inverted line was messed up "including" the exit, then the half square would also be marked down accordingly on the 1pt/15 degree rule.<br>
Somewhere in that line, the judge has to determine when that manuever ends....generally at the 15 meter exit point.<br><br>Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><br><div>----- Reply message -----<br>

Subject: [NSRCA-dist8] Judging question<br>Date: Sun, Aug 19, 2012 2:11 pm<br><br></div><br>I was out practicing today and totally screwed up a maneuver. After the flight one of my flying buddies asked how it would of been scored. I didn't know and for the benefit of the group I'm asking here on the list.<div>
<br></div><div>Flying intermediate I came into the 4th maneuver "1/2 square loop exit inverted" . After I finish the 1/2 square I got totally disorientated flying upside down to center for the "Square loop from top". By the time I get to center, I am right side up, climbing and headed out at about a 45 degree angle to my line. I crossed center circled around to the right, backtracking; just before getting back to center I rolled inverted flew to the other (box) corner and continued with the half loop. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I realize the square from the top gets a zero. My question is are points deducted from the half loop because I crossed center and circled back around?</div><div><br></div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div>
