This appears to be the small pass I think it is. Snowie 4 is simply not very trustworthy for close race cube decisions and hopefully Snowie 5 will have improved logic as races shorten up (noting I told Egger how to do this for Snowie 1 at least a decade ago !!)

The problem is that Snowie thinks the below position is a clear take rather than a clear pass as no cube vig. It will make bad takes like this in the rollout and that may have skewed Stick's result.

GNU properly passes things like this in the rollout and I strongly feel gets more accurate results in races.
