1000km flights
I remember Sebastian Kawa expressing himself in one of the interviews against extremely long tasks. A competition is more about a comparison between pilots, and not necessarily about endurance or chasing for records or 1000 km diplomas. It has to do with safety, as too long tasks over several days inevitably bring exhaustion with them, and possibly accidents.

I have attended a Nephi event and I launch was very efficient, I thought after a few days all 65 glider were launched in an hour. On a 17,500 foot day, tasks of 3 or 4 hours do not do Nephi justice.
