Just curious: In the standard class results for Task 5/August 7 there is a penalty: "VC - Towing: early release. First offence - warning."

Is there a minimum altitude they are allowed to release at, or is it about a distance from the start or an area assigned for release? Anybody knows in this specific case and competition?
