Adding the function of calling in a manner suitable<BR>
for judging can be a distraction from 'Caller for Pilot'<BR>
duties. It's not desirable, but the realities of <BR>
contest manpower sometimes require it.<BR>
<BR>
Even more distracting is (have you been there as a<BR>
pilot or caller?) hearing a scribe call maneuvers<BR>
late or early...and ya hope the judge isn't <BR>
listening. <VBG><BR>

Ron, Steve and all,<BR>

One other thing that comes to play is the wrong maneuver being called. If the judge isn't familiar with the schedule, he would still score it as usual. It happens fairly often and in all classes.<BR>
<BR>
Another element is the many parts that some maneuvers have, which the caller will often not state due to lack of time in the flight. Again, the judge should spend a half hour on the schedule sequence he is to judge, to become familiar with such details as 2 of 4 or 2 of 2 on the up line or downline, for example<BR>
<BR>
I agree with Ron that what could be considered good practice for the benefit of the judge, may be very distracting for the pilot<BR>
