|
| The following
general points apply to all sequences: |
|
|
1 |
At
unlimited, two half-rolls and
either one inside/outside horizontal eight or one all positive
humpty bump or one all positive ‘vanilla’ stall turn are allowed
prior to the start of the sequence. At other levels reduced
allowances are made - consult the
respective rules. |
|
2 |
The sequence start,
end and any intermediate breaks must be signified by three wing
rocks. |
|
3 |
Every figure must
begin and end on the "A" or "B" axis in erect or inverted level
flight. |
|
4 |
The mark for each
figure is 10 points minus the sum of the deductions that you
judge appropriate. |
|
5 |
Figures missed-out,
obstructed by cloud or started behind the Judges must be awarded a hard zero. |
|
6 |
The framing mark (out
of 10) is judged on the symmetrical and good use of the whole
'box'. |
|
7 |
In
gliding the harmony mark (out of 10) is
judged on the regularity and flowing
nature of the flight. |
|
|
|
| Zeros
|
| Occasionally the
Chief Judge will call the Judging panel members together after a
sequence to discuss contentious points. Debates at these
occasions can become quite heated, but a common settlement of
any disputed points is essential and it is the Chief Judge's job
to ensure that this is reached as quickly as possible. Whilst
you should certainly present your own point of
view, once the Chief Judge has made a decision -
do accept it! It in unfair to harass the CJ and
impossible to prove who is actually correct. |
