My very limited survey seems to indicated that those lines <BR>> had very

flights. On the first round, my scores <BR>had a 94 point raw score

a 14.5 point spread (These judge hung together; <BR>the worst being an
8.0/6.0/7.0 on the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out). <BR> The third
round had only a 28.5 point spread (this despite a <BR>9.5/9.0/6.5 on the 1/2

(an elevator half came unhooked from the clevis <BR>and I landed before
completing the first airborne maneuver)! The fifth <BR>round had a 63
point spread, including a 3.0/8.0/6.0 on the Vertical <BR>Square 8. The
sixth round had only a 33.5 point spread, however, it <BR>included 6.0/9.0/8.0
on the 1/2 Inside Loop w/ 2/4 Roll Out, <BR>6.5/8.0/8.5 Top Hat w/ 3/4 Roll

<DIV>An example in advanced goes like this for my rounds.</DIV>
<DIV>Scores with two or more points different on the same
manuver. high low total dirrerence</DIV>
<DIV>Round-1------9 random not the same judge
in each case
89</DIV>
<DIV>Round-2------2
30</DIV>
<DIV>Round-3------6 63</DIV>
<DIV>Round-4------3
46</DIV>
<DIV>Round-5------5 35</DIV>
<DIV>Round-6------3 41
</DIV>
<DIV>Round 3 includes 1/2 square with 2 of 4 scores 0---6----7 and a
3-1/2 turn spin that scored 0-0-6-1/2</DIV>
<DIV>Round 1- includes a spin that scored 8-1/2-0-7</DIV>
<DIV>I might add that there were no obvious cases where any judge was scoreing
real high or low.</DIV>
<DIV>And in my case I most likely ended up placeing about where I should have
give or take plus or minus 5 places.</DIV>
