Default RE: What is the real story from Portugal?

I have never seen a top level pilot fly, so keep this in mind when reading my remarks.

On the wing level issue.. keep in mind the position where the judges sit. The contest is not to fly everything straight and level. The contest is to make the judges think everything is straight and level. This is how it is possible that a figure, of which a bystander in another position thinks 'that was crap', gets a high score..

From what I've heared of people who have seen flying on this level, these pilots are champions in hiding stuff from the jury.

However, on the other issue the jury guidlines are pretty clear. If someone is flying at 200~220m deep, he should have at least 1 or 2 points substracted each figure.
