  Hello!

I am happy that Alan posted this sequence for you all to enjoy.  I plan on
being at the Chief Judge's station when the Frees begin.  I have not looked
yet but I believe Nicolai has the Free with the fewest figures.

A 2.5 percent bonus is added to the TBLP score for each figure less than the
15 maximum.  For example, a 12 figure Free would gain a 7.5 percent bonus.
The bonus is actually a percentage of his TBLP'ed score.

This is the first WAC the bonus system has been tried and everyone here is
looking forward to it.

Programme Q is going well.  We plan to finish it tonight but this will
probably require flying beyond sunset.  The International Jury can authorize
flying 30 minutes beyond official sunset and we have done so.  I hope we can
finish before then.  We would prefer to start fresh in the morning with
Programme 1.  It will be a late evening, as scores must be finished to
produce an order of flight for Programme 1 and we also will use the judges'
performance factors (JPF's) to select our final panel of judges for
tomorrow.  We have a total of 15 judges on the line right now ... a
veritable sea of umbrellas.
