<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In the prelims, I had some pretty healthy point spreads as
well, but I don't recall the exact numbers. My recollection is that for the most
part, the judge who had the low numbers was pretty consistently low throughout
the whole flight compared to the other two judges. I'm okay with that as long as
that consistency is maintained for all the pilots judged.</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE><?smaller>We have heard from a lot of Advanced pilots about the
judging on that line. I would like some feed back from Masters and FAI
on the prelims judges. My very limited survey seems to indicated that
those lines had very good judging. I had a lot of 5s & 6s and some
good scores but overall my scores, in my opinion, were spot on. I'm
only asking about the prelims.<?/smaller><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I had some weird
scores on some flights. On the first round, my scores had a 94 point raw score
spread (one judge was consistently high). The second round had only a 14.5
point spread (These judge hung together; the worst being an 8.0/6.0/7.0 on the
1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out). The third round had only a 28.5 point spread
(this despite a 9.5/9.0/6.5 on the 1/2 Outside Loop w/ 2/4 Pt Roll Out). The
fourth round had a zero spread (an elevator half came unhooked from the clevis
and I landed before completing the first airborne maneuver)! The fifth round
had a 63 point spread, including a 3.0/8.0/6.0 on the Vertical Square 8. The
sixth round had only a 33.5 point spread, however, it included 6.0/9.0/8.0 on
the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out, 6.5/8.0/8.5 Top Hat w/ 3/4 Roll Up, 1/4
Roll Dn and a 6.0/8.0/6.5 on the 1/2 Sq Loop w/ 1/2 Roll Out. <BR><BR>I can
accept up to 1.5 point spread from three judges on a maneuver, but more than
