You are correct for sound score, but for sequence 95% of all non zero scores are 6-9, this makes the sound score which is 98% 5 or 10, worth more than it would seem in comparision to your raw score prior to normalization.


example in unlimited sound is 12k so a 5 would be 60 raw points and a 10 would be 120 raw points. loss 60 points

Now figure 6 in the unlimited known is 30k a score of 6 would be 180 points a score of 9 would be 270 points a difference of 90 points.


get a 5 instead of a 10 on every sequence flown and it could cost you the contest!!!
