Default O&R clarification with remote start

Just one more quick clarification:

"3 turnpoints" is NOT the same thing as a "Triangle"! *You can declare
up to 3 turnpoints for many distance tasks and there is no requirement
for them to be in the shape of a triangle. *So your "Out and Return"
_course_ is possible, just not as an "Out and Return" type
declaration.

As others have suggested, check out the SC3 and this handy booklet on
the SSA website - its long but it describes the various types of tasks
and turnpoints well: *http://www.ssa.org/files/member/B&RGuide.pdf
(you may need to read it two or three times for it to all make sense,
but stick with it)

Good luck,

--Noel


I would really focus on the actual FAI sporting code section 3 and
annex C documents. It is not clear to me how the SSA "summary" of the
rules really helps or why it exists, and its actually helped fuel
confusion on the Glider ID vs. Contest ID confusion as discussed here
before. But keep the forms from the SSA handy to use for your paper
declaration.
