What you are suggesting is possible with a triangular task... ie...
starting in the middle of a leg with 3 turnpoints and a start and

works for triangles, but not for O&R?
I suppose it makes too much logical sense to be allowed!
adding a remote start never shortens the distance flown, it can only
equal exactly or increase the actual distance compared to the claimed
distance.
oh well on to plan b.

So if the direct distance is 500.2km according to SeeYou would it be
risky to fly that declaration? *I was planning on finding another
turnpoint at least 2-5 km further away just so i don't miss it if
someone does the math slightly differently.

The point is to prevent any possibility of a yo-yo or close to that.
It's to show how good you are at going from some place straight out
and back to another point that you have declared ahead of time. The
sporting code intent and actual rules for O&R make perfect sense.

Darryl

well to me if you can do a remote start along the leg of a triangle
why not on an O&R.
it would make sense to me to go south for 125k, north 250 and back 125
for the finish and call it 500km. But if that ain't the way it works
then i'll just use the point 5km south as the start and finish.
thanks for everyone's clarification.
