Default AT, TAT, MAT?

Hi Noel,

You probably arent' finding a lot of information on strategy because
it is really too simple to warrant a book and it is different for
different people and skill levels. And the guys that are really good
at aren't telling.

My rookie contest strategy is this.

Start as soon as practical. This puts me in near the most gliders or
ahead of them. This way I can use them for markers as long as possible
as they pass me.

For Minimum Time tasks try to fly the task as close the minimum time
without going under time as possible. This give me the least amount of
time to make a bad decision and have to dig myself out of a hole. I
found out later that there is mathematical advantange to flying close
the the minimum time.

Only be concerned about distance points if it is very likely that you
can not complete the task.
