If a pilot flies a manuever in the sun and can not be, quote..(optimally judged), should/would that be criteria for a downgrade?
Interesting question. Most pilots would handle this by saying that they are displacing a figure due to the sun, etc. As a CD I tried hard not to put pilots or judges in the position of having to worry about this. We had fields where we would wait to start so the sun was NOT in the eyes of the judges or pilots.

I would hope that no judge would downgrade the airspace score due to sun issues. That is not the intent of the rule
