Default "cost" on score sheets

Anyone know what the algorithm is for calculating the "Cost" listed for each maneuver on the pattern score sheet printouts?

Total maneuver points - average deduction is what I used.

Edit: (10 - Avg score) * Kf would be more accurate!

Yeah, it looks like it is (10 minus the ave. score) times the Kfactor. So if you averaged 8.0 on a maneuver with a Kfactor of 3 the "cost" is 6.0. I noticed it is labeled "Ded" on your score sheets.

Jim,

Cost is an indication of the average cost in points for the maneuver. It is calculated from your average raw score subtracted from 10 times the K factor. The idea is to show you the maneuvers that are costing you the most points and help you focus your practice in the areas that will give you the most gain.

I hope this makes sense?

Gordon,

So what you're saying is that if one scores a 6 on a K=1 maneuver and a 9 on a K=5 maneuver, he should work more on his K=5 maneuver?

You should have used 5 on a K=1 and then it would have been a push.

Unfortunately, if you get a zero on a K=3 during your best flight it is a throwaway flight even if you average 8 on that maneuver for the rest of the contest. Don't get zeros. They really COST.

Push from the top or bottom?

Well one has to look at zeros phillosophically....you at least have a clue as to what to work on, no?
