This is what I mean by the rules being too subjective - its up to the individual judge ot decide if the competitior has had a samba or not. One one day, one judge might call a borderline decision, and on another day, they might let someone go free. I know from watching people do statics that there are a few who come up nearly every time looking like they've just samba'd, but being far away from it.
I think a less subjective method needs to be introduced, but what? Certainly saying that if you can recover under your own power, you're OK isn't subjective - whether its safe or not is another issue. What other methods would exist for classifying sambas, that don't depend on the individual judge? An oxymeter?
