<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=3>Although it is
counterintuitive, I accept and, if ever asked to judge, will try to apply what
Dave Lockhart and Scott have explained about this. Without this topic having
come up, I would have compared all radii to the initial one in all looping
maneuvers. It seems more logical to me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=3> I can't
envision attempting a square loop and saying to myself, "Oops! I made the
initial radius too sharp. I'll just make the other three larger and hope I only
lose one point." But the interpretation in question allows for
this.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=3>Where do these
rule interpretations come from? Who makes them? Are they in writing
somewhere? Maybe there should be rule interpretaion addendum. Do
all certified judges know about these? I just attended a seminar and I
didn't.</FONT></DIV>

and spins (let's not go there!), are there other "secret" rule interpretations
we should know about?</FONT></DIV>
