Sorry can't find it there. Can you please give a paragraph
reference.

6.2.2 Assigned Area Task, mentions a Minimum task time which is the
same as US rules. A search for maximum task time returned no results.

No, that may be used to define the time at which a task will end even
if the glider has not landed, but it does not define a maximum task
time in the context being discussed. Maximum task time would imply a
maximum allowed duration between the time of starting and the end of
the scoring flight.

Rule 10.1.10
Finish closes - At contest sunset time

therefore task end = Finish close

Contest sunset time defined as

Rule 10.1.8
Contest sunset - the CD shall designate a contest sunset time,
which shall be approximately 10 minutes prior to the earliest time of
sunset at the contest site during the period of the contest.

Sure, but what point are you making. What is under discussion is that
SeeYou ended a flight after 2.5 hours because a max task time of 2.5
hours had been defined. It had nothing to do with sunset.

What I was trying to find out was why SeeYou even has a definition for
maximum task time. To that end I asked what set of rules defined a
maximum task time. So far there is no indication that any does.

I obviously fell into the trap of not answering your question correctly...
As I said before, it's not a maximum but a minimum. SeeYou has a setting
for Task Time, what your scoring script does with it is up to you. Perhaps
you should ask Naviter to change the flag to "Task Time Out" instead of
"Photo Landing" when the task time expires. It has occasionally caused me to
wonder what was happening after a long day scoring contest traces until I
realised it was just the clock going 'ping'.
However, I was trying to answer the OP and not just give SeeYou a hard time.

The answer is, If you don't want to run a scoring script (i.e. most of the
time) and you have an AAT flight, don't set a task time and SeeYou will give
you all the information you need. If you do set a tasktime, SeeYou will
treat the timeout as a photolanding. Tasktime is (I believe) only of
consequence when trying to sort out the scores for a competition.
