To preclude undertime penalties and keep more options open, how about
this? On a long soaring day can one start, fly the designated sequence
of TP's, start again at the "optimal" time, fly the designated
sequence again, and finish? And claim the best of twice around, the
first attempt, or the second attempt afterwards?


If you used separate loggers, who would know?

A friend of mine and I did something similar a few years ago, during a
local contest that had a short task called on a good day: She flew
the task in my plane (hers was down for maintenance, I think),
starting soon after the gate opened. When she finished, I figured the
day was good enough to give me time to give it a go, so I jumped in my
glider as soon as she landed, took off, and flew the task myself.

She beat me by 1 mph, I think.
