You missed the point entirely, Ray.

At contests that I attend, we have pre-paid for 2,000' agl tows. Why get
off any lower? There's a chance of getting off lower and missing the
thermal, then having to work like crazy to get back up to release height,
all before the gate has opened. I don't want to have to work before the
gate opens; I just want to relax a little and save my concentration to spot
the other gliders that are out there. They are marking thermals, so there
isn't a need to pull the release below the 2,000' agl mark.
