Ok here is one for you

This year in Muncie on my third round (I think) I received from 3 judges a

9 - 9 - 0

For a manuver that is centered in front of the pilot and consists of a 45 degree inverted climb with a 4 point roll (inverted entry inverted exit) to a level inverted exit at the top of the box (about 800' high).....

Now how can two judges see 9's (which is a typical score of mine on this manuver) and the other see a 0? Missing or not defining a point enough is worth 4-5 point downgrade not 0.....

This is a K-Factor 4 manuver...... 5 is the highest so it cost me a possible 36 raw points (this can be the difference between being first in a round and being 15th in the round).

I did protest the score and it was confirmed that the judge wrote a zero (sometimes scores get entered into the computer wrong and 9 is close to 0).....

Anyways, this little "problem" did cost me a 10th place finish as it was that close to myself and 10th.....

Thats the game, things like that do happen and you really cannot do anything about it except go put up a better flight the next time.
