The feedback that I got from two people who I personally recommended to be judges at the Challenge was that EVERYONE flew TOO HUGE. Both of these judges noted to me that they were unclear why pilots insisted on flying past center to start the sequence.

There is no reason to fly past center to start this sequence. Period. Your Bud was not downgraded for this because there are no downgrades for it outside of the Box infringement penalties. Which, as I recall, almost every pilot got hit with.

But like I said. What do I know. I only wrote the damn thing. I might be wrong.

I am happy he did so well. Imagine how much better he might be doing if he flew the sequence the way it was desinged to be flown.
