Garrett flew extremely well and IMO is improving everytime that I see him fly. Doug's point is right on the money however. The judging criteria that we used (same as TOC, XFC, JR Challenge, IMAC NAT's) replaces the subjectivity we used to see (wow factor) with very objective criteria. You can read the criteria at
http://www.freestyle-2003.com/Rules/rules.shtml
For those interested, the scoring at the WAFC was computed with the high and low score PER CRITERIA - per round dropped. For instance if Doug gave QS a 9.9 on execution and I gave a 6.4 (and everyone else was in between) our 2 scores would be dropped from the raw total of execution for that round. All scores were normalized to 1000.
Saturday was 2 rounds added together to get the top 10 pilots. Those 10 pilots flew a 1 round "shoot out" on Sunday. Scores are below.
