2011/2012 Master Short Aresti Wrong?
I have been flying the 2011/2012 Short Masters sequence a little lately. (No, Jarvis, I haven't decided to move up for sure yet. If I do, it will be purely a defensive move to make sure I don't have to judge Masters. LOL!) Coming from an IMAC backround I prefer Aresti to the written descriptions, so I downloaded the Masters Aresti version. Another Masters pilot saw me flying it, and said I was doing manuever #2 (Figure "M") incorrectly. In the Aresti it shows that in the figure M, on the first upline you do a 3 of 4 roll up, stall turn, and a 1/4 roll down. On the second upline the Aresti shows a 1/4 roll up, and a 3 of 4 roll down. In Aresti this is indicated by whether the rolls are placed above or below the horizontal line. The other pilot said that the two uplines are to be flown the same ie. 3 of 4 roll up, 1/4 roll down. This seems to match the abbreviated written description. The manuever can be made to work either way it is flown depending on roll direction. So, is the Aresti wrong, and if so, I think it should be corrected. In my opinion the Aresti is much more detailed than the written descriptions. That is the point of the Aresti language. What would happen at a contest if I showed up and flew it as drawn. Would I get a zero, would everyone else get a zero, or would they accept it both ways?

I'm gonna respond 'cause I'm learning Aresti and it's fun!
My thought: you are right, and the Aresti is drawn incorrectly. The score sheet says "3/4 point roll up" and that's what's in the written description. The Aresti has the second leg opposite like you said, and although I think that looks cooler, you would probably get tagged a '0' for following the Aresti unless you can fool the judges - it's been known to happen
I don't know if the way the Aresti is written (up leg vertical maneuver written above the horiz. line) changes because of the way they are linked.

However, I'm glad you caught the error in the Aresti diagram. Pattern only recently (last 10 years or so) has started to show Aresti diagrams. Even more recently, ribbon diagrams have been shown. The written description has been the guiding word so to speak, for decades

I can see how having the rolls above or below the horizontal line easies readability, but I though the curve was all that mattered? ...fly into the cup (in which case it is correct.)

When you compare the two Figure "M" maneuvers in the Masters short link and the preliminary P-11 (second page) you can see the aresti for the Figure M in the Masters Short sequence aresti is a bit shonky and needs to be fixed up.

You are correct, you do fly into the cup of a roll symbol. However the whole point of the horizontal line in the Hammerhead figure is to define what happens up, and what happens down ,so in this case it is impossible to properly reconcile the two. It is a grammaticaly incorrect drawing.
