He is still at the top of the list with a zero in free because Jason flew the pattern rounds very well. You know the rounds that make up 90% of the total score. Not because he flew freestyle well. Mark is in second because he flew the pattern rounds very well. Not because he flew the balls out free. He flew a soild free round and people in front of him did not. I can argue tell the end of time, but it comes down to the pattern and how precise you fly the freestyle. Mark balls out is very precise I'm sure. That may effected the outcome? What do you think? BigBird
No doubt the precision has more weight than free. Yes, but I think it is more than 10%. I could see where it was only 10% if they were only flying one freestyle round the whole time like some IMAC contests but they are flying a freestyle every single day including the last. Maybe if there was a judge from the Masters that could explain and get a correct percentage on what each weighs might help out also.

The most important factor I believe you might not see them putting there 'balls to the wall' is because of the reason pointed out already. And that is that their freestyle only counts for 10% of their overall score.
