Default Steering turnpoint radius at WGC

Each day the task includes a steering turnpoint to line the gliders up
with the active runway. Sometimes the steering point has a radius of
1000m (1km) and sometimes it has a radius of 2km.

I tried to find an association between runway in use, or task type,
and the radius but have found none.

Why does the radius change. Surely not a deliberate trap for the
unwary?
