<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also like the manuevers called out, especially at
local contests. It solves many more problems than it creates. It
works very well in the Southeast, as most every contest we attend, this system
is used. Very few complaints from anyone.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=553425019-11062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
idea of callers "helping" judges sounds good but is not at all good in
practice. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=553425019-11062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

or need maneuvers shouted at them or even given in full text
descriptions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

can set up for the next center maneuver.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

on this list, but not least, almost all pilots have the maneuver called

a big advocate of keeping the judges and the pilots apart in all ways during

enough for the judges to hear, but I have found that there is a lot of
resistance to this proceedure. I've always viewed presenting the
sequence such that the judges could judge it, easily and correctly as part of
the "job" and the caller can contribute to that to a large degree, by calling
the maneuvers such that there is no confusion. I will also point out
that I have nearly been lynched for this position, on occasion :-)<BR><BR>This
