I don't understand how starting everyone at the same time but continuing to employ a MAT or TAT will make the day more exciting for the spectators or enjoyable for the contestants.

Neither of the above will be able to correlate finish time with the day's ranking. I was under the impression that the enjoyment of a Grand Prix was knowing at a glance what competitive position each contestant was in. IE, first one home wins. With contest tracking (especially as it matures) this could actually be interesting to spectators.

I have no beefs with the Regional Rules. However, I am interested in competing in a Grand Prix style event. If we are going to just start everyone at the same time and let them fly a MAT then I will review my pilot poll vote. One of the contests I flew had such poor CD radio performance I am not sure anyone could have known when the CD called the official start. I guess I will reread the pilot poll and make sure I voted correctly.
