style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I agree with what Bob
said! The pilot side of us demands discussion on "technique"
and the "how" do we/they do this or that. However once in the
judging chair, you cannot decide or second guess the stick movements of the
pilot. If you see a good spin entry and rotation, it is good. You should
not have judging thought process that goes like this, "I saw a good entry
and start of rotation, but, did he use all the elevator to get it, was there a
headwind, the last airplane floated backwards and this one was drifting forward
some, or did he force the entry with the opposite elevator?" Same
type of issue with a snap. </span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Some pilots are using the snap
switch directly so there is no way to show the break unless elevator is applied
before activation the snap switch. I am planning to give a zero if I
cannot see the break or stall when I have the chance to judge this year.
However, I know that complains will follow.</span></font></p>

The break comes because of the stall/defines the stall and has NOTHING to do
with how the pilot accomplished it (I.E. snap switch) Judge what you see and
don't get to zero happy, personally I think some judges get to zero happy/spend
too much time looking for a zero, rather than judging what they see. When
you sit down in the chair your mind set should be "I will judge by the
rule book" not "I'm going to catch someone in a zero", there is
too much going on to spend much time on such things. Just judge what you see,
by the rule book, there is plenty going on to judge.<br>
