DRILL

As there are four (4) separate portions to the DRILL, it is suggested that four (4) Judges be used. Various classifications of vehicles will no doubt be disturbing to the Judges as each Corps drill differently. Therefore, to achieve more consistent evaluation, it is also suggested, each Judge is instructed to devote his efforts to one category only throughout the competition.

1. Judge "Timer" Drill Field Entrance (Stop---Watch- Clip Board -Pen)
2. Judge "A" Variety of Drill (Clip Board -Pen)
3. Judge "B" Execution (Clip Board -Pen)
4. Judge "C" Showmanship (Clip Board -Pen)

Judge-"Timer"

The Timer Judge, located at the Drill Field entrance, primarily checks for violations as described top of Drill Score Form. Violations to be recorded by slash marks on the second line. Scorers to convert slash marks to a number, not to exceed a Max. of 10 points, placed on the top line. This number; (being negative) to be subtracted for total score. The Judge is responsible to note all additional maneuvers with one (1) credit per additional maneuver. Credit is allowed for the first performance of each maneuver only. Repeats receive no credit. Most experienced Corps will have many additional maneuvers in their routine. Identify additional credits by a slash mark only. Example: (15 Max.)

Note: The four (4) required maneuvers do not count as additional maneuvers.

Check Inspection Judges before assessing any Corps for being late.

Drill Field Boundary Line Violation:

This responsibility to be shared by each Field Judge on his side of the Drill Field. Indicate each violation by a slash mark using the line provided this area of Drill Field Score Form. Number of Gigs x 5.

Judge " A " Variety of Drill:

All Corps perform a routine of their design on the Drill Field. During their routine all Corps must perform four (4) required maneuvers described below.

Column of Twos -(2) vehicles side-by-side in a straight line or column.

Column of Fours -(4) vehicles side-by-side in a straight line.

Figure Eight -(2) circles rotating in opposite directions, vehicles equally spaced cross1ng at a common point.

Double Circles -(2) circles rotating in opposite directions, vehicles equally spaced, one vehicle from each circle meeting side-by-side where circles touch

You will note -Section " A " of Drill Score Form -special emphasis is given to the four (4) required maneuvers. To receive full credit the Corps must perform very well, holding their spacing, speed and dress showing a degree of practice. The Judge must indicate his evaluation using a grade of 0-3. Use Numbers Only.

Judge "B" Execution

Ease of Handling:

If the Judge has motorcycle and 4-wheel driving experience he will know if the rider/driver handles a maneuver with ease as opposed to being nervous, tense and uncertain. It should be difficult to receive a full score for this category.

Interval and Distance:

The best way to Judge this category is to gig everytime you see an interval change between vehicles. A slow moving Corps probably will score better than a fast moving Corps.

Riding and Driving Errors: No points off for a foot down in a planned stop maneuver, otherwise each foot down is (1) gig. A stall (3) gigs.

Variance of Speed:

Every time you see a speed-up or a slow down not originated by the leader is a gig.

Alignment:

Vehicles moving together in any direction, especially in a column or flank maneuvers are always in some form of alignment. Grade by using slash marks only. No. of Gigs only. No Numbers please.

Judge "C" Showmanship

Posture:

If the riders/drivers sit their vehicle as though they just returned from boot camp, than a good score is possible. Otherwise grade according to the impression you receive.

Neatness and Dispatch of Execution:

Practice will dictate team response to signals and avoid errors to individual uncertainty of direction.

Degree of Maneuver Difficulty:

A follow-the-leader maneuver is relatively easy based on the degree-of-difficulty. Double Circles or Figure Eight maneuver is relatively difficult, based on the degree-of-difficulty. Therefore a

follow the leader maneuvers could receive 10 points yet fail due to the degree of difficulty. All gigs should be noted using a slash mark. No Numbers please.

Note: Article VIII -Section 4- GLASMC by-laws -No 'TWO WAY RADIOS will be allowed on the competition field for any Unit competing on the drill field and being directed off the field in any fashion.

DISQUALIFICATION FOR THIS IS AUTOMATIC.
