Default contest corner -- start anywhere

Chris,

I really don't think it's all that complex. As Andy points out, what
you're suggesting might be even more complex.

I like the new rule because fundamentally, your distance in the first
leg is based on where you exit a three-dimensional cylinder. That is
not complicated at all. The extra language focuses on the two-minute-
under-MSH possibilities, but that, I believe, will rarely present
challenges to pilot or scorer.

This rule will have the effect of reducing crowding at the edge of
start cylinders. That alone is Good Thing.

2NO
