I am lost, if something happened at 15:24:06 with RB I am missing what it was. No airspace there to bust, just MOAs.

I thought that too except I found this interesting about open class day 8 task: "About the open class task:



After 180 km. the pilots enter the cylinder of Toledo. The CENTER of this cylinder is a forbidden airspace are. Pilots were warned to keep an eye on that.The next leg is 79 km. and then back over 112 km.



370 km. [min.299km. max 447 km] and time 2.30"

It was actually Laredo, and 18 meter had a similar task last week where the circle was really a donut, except that Laredo is on the Mexican border so the donut is really about a half donut.


This is all clear as mud.

It was Laredo what? He did not get close to the LOREDO CLASS D. You mean the CRYSTAL MOA centered on Laredo?

What exact time (nearest second) CDST did the violation occur and in what exact named airspace volume (proper FAA name please)? The score sheet says 15:24:06 (presumably CDST). But nothing is occurring exactly at that time. Around 15:19:46 CDST the glider climbs into the LAUGHLIN 2 MOA briefly (base of which is 7,001' MSL, but is just an MOA and therefore not an airspace violation per-se). Around 15:25:34 the glider passes from under LAUGHLIN 2 MOA to under LAUGLIN 3 MOA, around 16:00:12 the glider climbs though 6,000' into LAUGLIN 3 MOA. These are all just MOAs was there a NOTAM/TFR out modifying these or was additional contest airspace restrictions that are not in the airspace files or not FAA NOTAMed? it would really help to make that info available publicly.

See it would just be easir to give a nice precise explanatory answer instead of playing guessing games. Even better if the scorer (yes I know he's damn busy) had made clear what the penalty was and when it actually occurred.
