Jim,
Cost is an indication of the average cost in points for the maneuver. It is calculated from your average raw score subtracted from 10 times the K factor. The idea is to show you the maneuvers that are costing you the most points and help you focus your practice in the areas that will give you the most gain.
I hope this makes sense?
Gordon
Gordon,
So what you're saying is that if one scores a 6 on a K=1 maneuver and a 9 on a K=5 maneuver, he should work more on his K=5 maneuver?
You should have used 5 on a K=1 and then it would have been a push.
Unfortunately, if you get a zero on a K=3 during your best flight it is a throwaway flight even if you average 8 on that maneuver for the rest of the contest. Don't get zeros. They really COST.
