Default RE: I just don't get it!

Ok, well, I waited long enough.
I gotta get in this now. LOL

I think we all know (well, here in District 7) that I have in fact got scored for a zero manuver a few times. I had an issue after moving to masters because I had no practice therefore rolling the wrong way in manuvers. Well, we all know that I have went to the judges afterwards. Actually went to the score keeper once as our score sheets got carried back by a runner.
I gotta tell you guys, you're getting too upset by this idea that Scott has brought up for discussion. He's saying what's the big deal with telling on yourself if you did the wrong manuver? Why wouldn't you? Do you want a score for the wrong manuver?
He's saying why are you in this? To get scores for nothing sometimes? Or maybe to become a better pilot? Or is it that you just want the trophy this time?
I think we all spend enough money in the sport that we all want to win. Most of us want the trophy. Scott, well he's not so interested in "another" trophy. That's fine. He's interested in becoming a better pilot. You guys may be taking him wrong here.

Now, I have to say that it will never happen!! Most people don't care and will take anything they can get for a trophy!!

Me though, aint gonna happen. I'll zero myself. It's now a matter of pride, and I feel good about it. (although it hasn't happened since the beginning of the year) .
Most people look at you differently after they learn you "zeroed" yourself. They have a different level of respect.

Think about it this way. Have you ever watched someone that flew a zero manuver and got scored for it? Did he end up finishing the round, or even the contest ahead of you? Did it bother you then? If so, it should bother you when it happens to you!!

Ok, I got my flak jacket on!!!!
