Start Anywhere Cylinder (SSA rules proposal)

John

I think the poll is very clear that the intent would be to allow the
most favorable exit point.

The rules as they are now allow a pilot to take his most favorable
exit point as his start and the poll did not mention 'last' exit (or
any other wierd modification).

Without the mention of the word 'last' the poll must then be taken as
a modification of current rules which gives the pilot his 'best'.

I can see how we think we are voting one thing but the next year the
rules are not what we voted on, I guess you need to be on the rules
committee to really know what people mean. If only you would let ALL
SSA members be eligible for the position.

A slight clarification to Gary's post: As I read it, the proposal in
the survey is NOT the same as the "area start" that the RC considered
and wisely rejected. The area start let you start from any point IN
the start circle. This one lets you start at any cylinder EXIT point.
The reason for the difference is exactly to separate people who have
started from the pre-start gaggle. (Well, at least as much as in
current rules. Often the prestart gaggle is outside the gate, so
people start and return to bump the gaggle.)

16.1 Would you prefer that both start time and distance be measured from
your cylinder exit point?
