Regarding the difficulty of sequencing gliders for

Never had a problem myself on a typical non-contest
day without a finish cylinder. So why do you think
problems arise with cylinders in contest situations?


I have never had or seen a problem with the cylinder finish. It is also
the only finish type that I have used, since I started racing in 2002
and fly in sports class with my 20 year old glider.

I have seen plenty of "pattern roulette" at busy soaring sites on
non-contest days. Most of those patterns are non-events. Everybody
lands somewhere, leaving as much space as possible for the next guy.
