<DIV><STRONG> Gray, there is nowhere that says anyone should get a 10, you could be right that maybe there isn't a 10 snap but the guy that gets the best score still wins, Mark Pool put it very well you may have a step to say a foot or two but the line is still the same in the vertical plane and the heading is still straight, I found last year at the Nat's finals that Andrew Jesky was doing a vertical maneuver that had a roll then a snap he was really displacing to the right by maybe 3 feet so ask him to do it the opposite way so instead of say rolling to the left and then snapping to the right, try rolling right and snapping to the left, what happened he came back out now on line, so some of this is just figuring out what works best, and still meets the rules.</STRONG></DIV>
