Can someone refer me to the source for the concern?

The new rule is intended to weed out motorgliders who fly more than
15km from the launch, but will penalize gliders who take long tows.
It does appear to be applied only to league flights, but I guess we
will only find out when pilots submit files for scoring.

Yes, it does apply only to "league" flights (Speed-OLC scoring).

Last Thursday there were a lot of flights that flunked the 15km rule in
California. *Look he *http://tinyurl.com/26fkt4d

Due to the 15 km/h rule, a dozen flights received a Speed-OLC speed of
less than 1 km/h. *All were pure gliders.

Take at look at the flights he

That surely shows that tows are within the 15km exclusion. But I
would still like to see the source. Greg, any reference to the OLC
rules themselves, or other, to get the wording? The only doc. I find
is "Friday, October 15
OLC 2011: Foresight into future!"
