Would a flat 100 point penalty for each violation make it more palatable? Again, serial offenders would be exposed, which would be beneficial if they are the ones more likely to have an incident (I have no idea if that is so, but would seem likely).

I also think the start cylinder can be a place where it's very tempting to thermal low, no one wants to relight in front of the entire field, slow up the launch, etc. Tough be be penalized before you're even out on course, but I can think of one pilot who might still be alive if that were the case.
