On a 120 minute regionals TAT with 200fpm lift one suffers a 23 point
loss for 20 minutes overtime without the 15 minute rule, but only a 7
point loss with the 15 minute rule.

Well I see two problems the a 120 minute TAT (why even bother?) -
any soaring task that is that short is going to be extremely luck
driven; and if the lift is only 200fpm, how high it the MSH going to
be? If you are starting at 3000 ft, then the whole argument for the 15
minuter rule gets even weaker!
