Chip,
Do I detect a rather large tongue in a small cheek, here? I don't see
any way you could be given a finish circle penalty, if you were scored
as a land-out. Why don't you ask Uncle Hank if us poor standard class
guys will be given the 2% reward, if we are forced to fly with those
big bad 15 meter pukes in a small regionals?

But just in case, I'm going to print out this thread and take it with
me to next year's contests to avoid a situation like we had at
Fairfield where everyone agreed the intent of the rules was almost
certainly X but the letter of the rules was Y.
