Good post Andy, but I believe we need a set penalty
to discourage deliberately doing a rolling finish on
a good day. I watched a well known pilot make a rolling
finish every day for 5 days in a row (1000 feet and
2 mile finish cylinder). I have recommended the rules
committee consider the following:

up to 100 feet low = 5 point penalty
up to 200 feet low = 10 point penalty
up to 300 feet low = 15 point penalty
up to 400 feet low = 20 point penalty
rolling finish = 25 point penalty

Should read:

For a 4-hour task the 4 points per 100' drops to 2
points per 100'.
