1.4.5. Distance performance for badges only

A flight from a startpoint via up to three declared turnpoints to a

turnpoints may be claimed.

This is it. Cannot find anything wrong. Please shoot at it.


Well, you could change "not more then up to three visits" to
"no more than three visits" or "a maximum of three visits".

Also, this seems to leave open the possibility of rounding
the turnpoints in a different order than declared, and even
of skipping one declared turn point !? (You could declare
A-B-C and then fly A-B-A, or maybe even A-C-A, B-A-B, B-C-B,
C-A-C or C-B-C) Was that what you intended ? Or is this
covered somewhere else in the rules ?

It seem a little messy to talk about "visits". Why not just
treat TP3 as a different turn point than TP1, even if it
happens to be on the same spot on the map ?

BTW the rule about not having to declare the finish is interesting.
It would seem you can visit your declared TP or TP's (1 to 3) and
then basically treat the last leg as a free distance. Is that how
the rules stand today ?
