I guess nobody minds that these are illegal Racing Tasks.


I assume the concern is :

7.5 TURN POINTS AND ASSIGNED AREAS
7.5.1 A Turn Point is a way point between two legs of a flight. The
Observation Zone of a Turn Point is the airspace in a vertical
cylinder of 500 m radius centered on a Turn Point.

which appears to give no to option to change the radius.


There is commonly some room in the IGC system to permit some local
rules.
As a way to keep the groups apart, this seems to make good sense and
would have no meaningful affect on the competition.
FWIW
