Well said Andy. Your comments underscore the importance of the task
advisors (perhaps we should call them "task and gate advisors"). The
rules indicate how these individuals should be well respected, fair,
and experience. Using their input more is less likely to generate
protests. I'll throw in my earlier comment here that in a big contest,
we probably need more task advisors to get an accurate "sample."

The tension in raising release altitudes is that it delays the launch,
but when conditions are deteriorating the CD may be forced with a
choice between getting the current class launched AND started versus
getting the next class launched at all. Not an enviable situation, but
sometimes you gotta make the tough call. I think once the majority of
a class is in the air, making sure they can all get a chance at a
start takes priority over commencing the launch for the next class.

See you at the 2010 Sports Nationals Chad?
