When contests switched from cameras to flight recorders, there was no longer any reason to limit turnpoints to 11, but neither was there any compelling reason to change that number. It was left unchanged for tradition's sake. The MAT and its precursers, the Pilot Selected Task, Pilot Option Speed Task, and Prescribed Area Distance Task, go back nearly half a century.
