Hey Jim..

I'm not really confused, just judging it the way I've been told to really..

I agree with you 100%.. A point should be a point. But if the Judging Committee says to push as soon as wings are level, then if you want full points, this is how it is to be flown obviously. Until it gets worded differently in the rule book or there is an addendum page added. It needs to be more clear in there on certain manuevers..
It is crazy IMO that this even has to be debated.. IMO it is worded wrong.. Heck, it's worded wrong also in the Masters 2 of 4 split s.. We have to pull instantly also.. No visible line in our book, as also stated in the FAI book.. Do I like it, no, but I fly it that way for the points..
BTW, something you pointed out to me at Whittier has stuck with me. You mentioned most of us after our 2 of 4, when we start the split s, that we make the first part of the half loop tight, and the second loose.. You were right as I watched several of us.. Good catch!!
