Bobby: You should not roll the plane to inverted and then snap with negative stick commands. There will be point deductions for "rolling" into the snap.
Indeed there would be. It is called a ZERO!!!!!! That wold be the equivalent of adding a figure (1/2 roll).
The plane should break into the snap at the same time as the wings leave level flight.
There is no such criteria in the IMAC rules. The only two relevant criteria are that the nose depart the line of flight in the correct direction (for a negative snap that is towards the wheels), and that the plane autorotate. There are no other criteria except stopping the snap after the proper number of degrees of rotation.
