You are correct, sir.

When contests switched from cameras to flight recorders, there was no longer
any reason to limit turnpoints to 11, but neither was there any compelling
reason to change that number. It was left unchanged for tradition's sake.
The
MAT and its precursers, the Pilot Selected Task, Pilot Option Speed Task,
and
Prescribed Area Distance Task, go back nearly half a century.
