SGP vs. Normal Racing

What is interesting on this subject is that nobody has stated why they fee that SGP is less safe than the "standard format" competition. I guess the IGC do. The SGP rule book limits the entry to 20 gliders compared to 50 in normal racing format. |

SGP vs. Normal Racing
I suspect that is to do with the mass finish i.e. the likelihood of many
finishes at once and the airfield's ability to handle that scenario safely.

The finish is not the problem. The reason for limited numbers at a SGP is the starts, 20 gliders on the line at the same height, speed and time is enough.
