Precision and Paces
During the competition the judges indicate their marks for each movement, immediately it has been completed, by holding up a board indicating the number scored. One judge marks the precision of the movement the other judges the pace of its execution. The scorer notes the marks given. The judge has no written work to do. This allows tests to start at 5 minute intervals, so an entry of 25-30 complete this section in 2 1/2 hours.
New tests are developed for each season and are featured on the website.
The Precision & Paces arena is 50 metres by 20 metres with its markers being evenly spaced along its long sides. The judges are usually positioned at C and B/E. One judge marks paces while the other marks precision (just the accuracy of the course taken). For each judge, the marks are added up, taken from the perfect score and multiplied by 0.5 to give the penalty score.
