Default RC madness

That's called OLC. Sadly, the RC is "studying" that as well... ;-)

Probably will be a new US task type by spring. ;-)

Sigh.

Not quite, Sean. To pull a quote from his proposal...

"...as long as they file the task with the competition before launch." So, not really at all like OLC. Task is declared before takeoff. A self assigned task. And every team would likely have a different one. Wouldn't that be fun for the scorer!

Not really. IGC files have been able to have tasks declared pre-take-off
for many years.
