By the time the back seater takes the time to verbalize what the pilot should be doing it would be too late to execute the move. Dogfights aren't fights where you can think of you options, discuss these options with your coach, and then execute the agreed upon maneuver. You have to read the situation and react to it in a nano-second. One second to late and the move is useless. I doubt the back seater could verbalize what you should do quicker than half a second to give your brain time to hear what they said, proccess it, and then act upon it.

double post.

You're all crazy.  You are applying the thinking to yourselves, and not applying it to a rookie fighting another rookie in the tourney. :salute
but you tell a rookie to pull left or pull right go up cut throttle. Well they won't know how much to go left how much up and how much throttle. All the guy riding will do is just get overwhelmed stall and die

JOACH1M,

I'll be on for most of the night.  Let's try to get this done tonight.

Since there's no confirmation from DejaVu on Nath's purported win, thus creating a dispute, and since I won't have time until this weekend to review Nath's films and render a decision and because JOACH1M and JB11 can't seem to meet deadlines the emtire procceedings are delayed until Sunday at which time I'll render decisions on who advances and who doesn't.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Been on three nights in a row, all night, and all day Sunday.  Don't know what else I'm supposed to do.

I think a rookie would be dead meat given the talent that advances. Even so I disagree with a ride along coach as well.

Squads are for the MA.  1 v 1 tournaments are just that.  Please get out of my opponents plane.  If he's not man enough to do it by himself, he should not be in this tournament.  Get back in the MA and put forth the 13 years as I have and get better.  With patience and practice, you will get better and will not need Chewie to help you out.

Exactly. Ride alongs are retarded to allow in a tournament.

So tired of how this whole thing has become channel for the worst in people's character.  I open this thread up and its only more vitriol.  First it was being put in the lower bracket because INK flaked on me, then he drops out two days later.  Then comes along a clear violation of years of dueling tradition with no leadership/say whatsoever on the part of the bracket organizer, opening up a precedent that can be exploited any time out of desperation.  Then DJ doesn't film his duels and we refly it so people have some films to watch now BE's dragging his feet on the do-over films.  Not to mention the cheer leading sections.  If this is that important to some of you, you can have it.     :bolt:

Just bought 200 shares of stock in P&G...the fine makers of Kleenex tissues.  Glad I did cuz it looks like we'll be selling lots of it.
